Kudos for the info!
Il be trying out the Strander one i feel. If it´s not what i hope for, il probably go for the old antique one that makes rounded lace, but they too are quite expensive. Oh well... trial and error i suppose. Also, may be different with my veg tanned leather so i´l be sure to take note on it.

Rein rounder ity was called. I call it lace maker in Sweden but i hope it makes sense anyways. Adding a pic.

Australian lace maker.....  you are right!!  I'd gotten mine so long ago I forgot the name.   They came out of an Amish harness shop in southern Wisconsin.

Awesome! I like the look of it as well since it´s no plastic.

Question. Can you use it as the Tandy plastic one as well? I mean to make leather cord from a round piece starting from a center hole?

But the REAL question is, WHERE is the tool that reliably BEVELS the lace?

Any version  of these? Or do you mean bevels it at the same time?

So when I lace with it (not  braid with it) it lays FLATTER (for buckstitching)

Then that´s the tool you use. At least as i see it from your pic. Could also be this one as it works on a broader surface.

That would be quite a trick considering that the lace would be less than half as wide as that tool.  I don't doubt it would make the cut, but you'd need a way to reliably hold the lace straight without stretching ...
