Braiding Supplies Braiding Supplies While the American tradition in braiding evolved mainly around rawhide from cattle, there has always been some braiding in leather, and the best of this has been in kangaroo whenever suitable kangaroo has been available. To assist in keeping this craft alive David Morgan supplies kangaroo skins and lace for braiders, as well as a selection of books presenting both Australian and American techniques of braiding.
Kangaroo leather is by far the best leather for fine leather braiding.
We supply both skins and lace. Excess kangaroos are harvested in Australia under programs approved by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife authorities. The leather we offer is in a high strength bark tannage, and are selected for shape and minimum scars and discoloration. We offer natural and black skins drum stuffed, that is grease is worked into the leather in heated rotating drums. Drum stuffing provides an even distribution of grease in the amount needed to ensure optimum properties of the leather.
