In Response To: Source for rawhide lacing? (Don Bobzien)

: I reciently did my Wee Lassie seat using the pre-woven natural cane and
: spline. Originally I wanted to use rawhide for the lacing but couldn't
: find anything but boot laces. Any one have a source to buy bulk lengths?
: Thanks in advance, Don Bobzien

Try Tandy Leather Company, at www.tandyleather.com (tandy.com gets you to Radio Shack)

The following URL gets you to their bargains page which has lacing at 4 yards for under $2.

http://tandyleather.com/products.asp?dept=168&pagenumber=4

If you want longer lengths (up to 20 yards) just follow the links from their main page to their pages on laces and lacing.

If you need a local supplier, call your phone book for the local Boy Scout Council. The Scouts usually have spools of plastic and leather lace in their catalog, and you can contact any scout supplier about obtaining this. Your local boy Scout Council will help you find the local retailers who sell Scout supplies.

Hope this helps.
