David and Meagan demonstrate how to cut kangaroo lace from a kangaroo skin. Extremely high quality kangaroo skins and the lace cutter shown are available from the David Morgan company.
We are currently ( June 2021) out of stock of this lace cutter and looking for a carpenter to provide them to us!

Thanks for posting this. I'm looking forward to more leatherwork videos, especially whip making and leather braiding!

I always wanted to know how the makers cut such long strands if leather from small hides. Very interesting. Great demo. Thanks

Great video! Can I ask how many metres we can cut from one piece kangaroo skin?

[@gregsmith6139]

I find it interesting to see the leather dry stretched. Some makers will get it wet first then stretch it.

[@gregsmith6139]

How do you feel about that?

[@DavidMorganLLC]

@@gregsmith6139 Sorry for the late reply. The skins we sell are 'drumstuffed' meaning tumbled with grease when finished, so I don't think they would be good at taking on water. I'll have to look into wet stretching though. I've seen a multi fingered stretching machine at our glovemaker's which pulls a skin from all directions.

How can i make a cutter like this one?

[@navair07]

What oz. weight is the leather you are cutting in the video?

[@DavidMorganLLC]

I'm not sure if this is a light, medium or heavy kangaroo skin but if my mm to oz conversion guide is right the 0.7 to 1.1mm thickness range runs 1.75 to 2.75oz

[@tawnyascharber9402]

Thank you for the video. Is the cutter still available?

[@DavidMorganLLC]

Tawnya Scharber unfortunately we are sold out and lost our supplier, we are looking for a woodworker who can make some more for us.

I'm happy to say we finally have them back in stock!
