Which Rawhide To Use ?

[Aurelie]

Hello,

I'm already braiding with kangaroo or latigo leather and I'm thinking more and more about rawhide.

My question is : where can I buy a good rawhide lace ?

I already bought some tandy leather laces (not rawhide) and I wasn't very happy about the quality so is the rawhide lace coming from tandy can give a nice work ?

If yes, is it necessary to split or bevel it ?

If not, could you tell where you are buying your rawhide ?

thanks for your help

I'd like to see the alternatives also.

Me too. Stern Tanning in Wisconsin is the only rawhide producer I know of but you have to cut the lace yourself.

Thanks rcsaddles for this address, I didn't know it.

Are you using this rawhide for braiding ? Is it working well ?

I personally have not used any of this rawhide yet. I have four 18 inch disks on the way to use in a lace cutting workshop in Sheridan, Wy. on the 14th of May. A friend has used some and I remember that he likes it.

Is someone already use this one ?

unfortunately, that thread is from 2010. pretty sure most if not all of those sources are no longer available.
