Pre Cut Rawhide Lace

[oobuckshotz]

honestly has anyone used the precut lace from Centralia or ebay? i know making my own is best but wondering if anybody has been able to use these...was thinking getting either the 1/4" and splitting it down to a 1/8 string or the 1/2 inch and maybe be able to get 3 1/8 strings....also thought about buying there rounds.... also thought about the 1/2 watter buffalo as they said it is quite thick then i know i could split its thickness down to that of what i need and not worry about it being to thin to split....but idk how it strethes....there is also horse anyone used that lace for buttons?

Thanks, Mac

Horse makes great button string as it is usually thinner than cow. I've not tried any of the stuff you are asking about so I can't give an opinion there. I have used some rawhide from Stern Tannery and it is really good.

Have not tried any of the rawhide lace you mentioned, but I used to get great rawhide lace from Tejas Industries in Amarillo TX. I have not bought from them in three or four years, but they always seemed to be able to supply anything I needed, (Width, thickness,) ..

Yeah, they're not around anymore...or at least they do not sell rawhide anymore.
