In Bruce Grants book Encyclopedia of rawhide and leather braiding he shows making a turks head with paper then cuts it so you can see how it's made, you might try the same for the mystery braid to get in the ballpark but you may need to reinforce it with a cheap material that won't tear.

Thanks LatigoAmigo for the quick reply I did a search for kangaroo lace on tandy no hits, I'm sure someone sells it. Do you think all kangaroo lace would come beveled? From what I have read the bevel helps the lace lay tighter is this true and do you end up working without a bevel on your lace? Do you use the tandy table top lace cutter like the youtube videos showing string making from round and square pieces just cutting from the outside towards the middle? Hope you don't mind me picking your brain but you and everyone must have started the same way I'm doing now. Thanks for your answers.

Hello I just picked up Bruce Grants Encyclopedia of Rawhide and Leather Braiding and looking for a source for leather lace. So for someone just starting out is any of the leather lace that Tandy sells on the rolls good for braiding or would I be better off getting a lace cutter from Tandy and using scrap leather to make my own lace, which would be the best way to go to learn braiding? Thanks all Bruce
