Danotriglide Report post Posted January 24, 2023 Good morning everybody, Years and years ago in a far away land I too was into leather craft. Tandy’s was just a hop and skip away and materials were easy to go pick up. I loved to lace my work with 1/8” kangaroo lacing but now online it looks like it’s not that much available anymore. There is other lacing like, deer skin, Latigo, Kodiak, calf. I did buy some kangaroo online from a dealer but the edges weren’t chamfered and clean and sharp as Tandy’s. I’ve seen the videos on the tube about making my own lace but I’d probably not do well there. Sooooo……other than kangaroo what are you using? If you’re using kangaroo where do you get it? Thanks!

Handstitched Report post Posted January 25, 2023 @Danotriglide Its no good to you , but all my roo lace comes from ' Birdsall Leather' NSW Australia . The freight will be ex$y to the US . But I wonder where US suppliers get their roo lace from,there aren't any kangaroos in the US? HS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get my supplies from them too, mostly roo hides, but I also get some lace from them too . But I find Birdsall lace seems to ' sit' or lay down better . They also have both ' classic' ( matt) or glazed lace, but just a quick rub over with some super shene after lacing does the same thing 13 hours ago, chuck123wapati said: actually i just searched and there are several roo ranches in the states lol maybe them roo burgers aren't so far off after all. Thats interesting, run by ' Aussie ex-pats perhaps. HS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
