This is some excellent lacing for
drum making as well as many other uses where you need something that is
extremely strong and dries stiff (you wet it to work with it). It is cow
rawhide which is 1/4" wide and about 1/8" thick. It comes in a couple
lengths as your needs may require. For the average drum it is recommended you
get the 16 foot length. As a reference, only 4 feet of lacing is shown in
photo.
Latigo Lacing:
This lacing or thong is oil-tanned
which makes it an extremely strong lacing in it's natural form. Current stock
is a dark brown color. It is in 36" lengths and is approx 3/16" thick.
Perfect lacing for boot or shoe laces, but also has many other uses where strength is a priority.
Waxed Cord Lacing:
This lacing looks just like round
leather lacing at a much more economical price. Made of cotton, it is waxed to
give it the shiney look of round leather lacing. It is the popular 1.5mm size
and comes in black on spools of 100 yards or lengths of 5 yards.
