Boot Hill Boot Doorstop

Marion Michael Morrison was born in 1907. You know him better as John Wayne or the “Duke.” In the movies, he sent many bad guys to Boot Hill. Got a pair of cowboy boots you’re getting ready to retire or trash? Don’t be in a hurry to throw them out.

With a little effort and creativity, you can make a handy doorstop for the ranch house that you will be proud of. When a pesky door keeps slamming shut, fill an old cowboy boot with sand or gravel and use it as a doorstop. To do it up even better, fill it with concrete mix or plaster, then coat it with clear urethane to make it clean and shiny-looking.

You will solve the door-slamming problem and have a piece of genuine western art, to boot. You can’t kick about the price, either.
