JoelR Report post Posted March 24, 2010 I'm working on my first motorcycle piece - a fender bib with a stingray insert. I'd like to lace the outer edge and the inlay but the lace I have been practicing with is much bulkier than I would like - Tandy latigo 1/8". So, what is my best option: find a way ro skive the lace or purchace the thickness I want in latigo and cut my own? My initial experimentation with 3oz pigskin was more along the lines of the look I was going for. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MADMAX22 Report post Posted March 24, 2010 I would order some kangaroo lace (Kevin at springfeild leather has some darn good prices). Just make sure you select the classic or glazed stuff and not the lmg or whatever it is that is the thick stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoelR Report post Posted March 25, 2010 Thanks MadMax. Just ordered up 50 yards of classic in red. Now to order a braiding book to see what type of braid to use between the stingray and the base. We'll see how it goes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
