Rawhide Topgrain Lace:3/8" x 130 ft (567-9) L3

Description

This listing is for bundle of Rawhide Topgrain Lace: 3/8" x 130 ft
These cow rawhide full grain laces are ideal for restringing canoe seats. The full grain laces are best for lacing canoe seats because there is less damage from water to the grain than with the split laces. The amount of lacing required depends upon the pattern used. Please note that the thickness is approximate, and that these are continuous lacings with the odd exception that a piece gets broken here or there.
Please note: rawhide lacing is stiff and must be wetted before use. It will then dry stiff. We have had customers order rawhide laces thinking that they are getting a nice soft lace and are disappointed because it is stiff.
Each bundles weighs approximately one pound.
The most important thing for rawhide, especially for snowshoes, is to never let them freeze when the lacing is wet. Store the canoe seat, snowshoes, etc. away from the sun in a cool dry place. Varnishing the rawhide is prevents it from getting wet. Re-varnishing once every year is also recommended.
Genus and species: Bos taurus.
