Kangaroo Leather
Lacing |
|
|
|
If you are in need of kangaroo leather lacing
(strings) and cannot find a source, I offer hand cut lacing in
a variety of widths and colors in lengths from 6 to 15 feet (1.83
to 4.57 meters). For those who need specific sizing, please contact
me. Kangaroo leather lacing is available in natural, black, saddle
tan, whiskey and brandy (dark brown). Hide dye lots for saddle
tan, whiskey and brandy vary over time, therefore if you plan
a large project using these colors, you may wish to order all
the strings at one time to insure color consistency. These are
the same strings I cut and use for myself, and come from the
center 2/3rd's of the hide. |
|
Remember, when choosing a width, kangaroo
leather lacing (or strings) evenly stretches to a narrower width
when braided, therefore 1/8" will probably finish closer
to 3/32". |
 |
|
Above are sample views of kangaroo leather
lacing in 1/4", 5/32", 1/8" and 3/32". Wider
widths intended for plaiting are beveled on the hair side and
flesh side. Smaller sizes are beveled flesh side only. |
 |
|
Above colors are saddle tan, red
(cut-when available), natural, black and whiskey. |
