Aurelie Report post Posted April 29, 2014 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rcsaddles Report post Posted April 30, 2014 Me too. Stern Tanning in Wisconsin is the only rawhide producer I know of but you have to cut the lace yourself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks rcsaddles for this address, I didn't know it. Are you using this rawhide for braiding ? Is it working well ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rcsaddles Report post Posted May 1, 2014 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.

LTC Report post Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) tejas industries no longer makes rawhide. that was a very old thread with old info. wouldn't count on the other two making it either. Edited May 2, 2014 by LTC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
