Thanks for the nice comments everybody. Johanna, I appreciate the short course on lace beating! I'll try it again with a little more hammer! Michael, this was Tandy kit lace, so I'm betting it ain't hand-cut or veg tanned!

Mike, nice job on the purse. I've attached a pic of the lace roller that I use. I made it out of a piece of 1" electricla conduit, with a bearing on each end, and a steel dowel throught the middle. All welded together with a bit of scrap from the garage.

You can also buy a woodedn one from Tandy. I find that rolling the lace is far easier than pounding, and you will get a far more even efect.
