JW_Halverson:
Roo leather is THE choice for leather jesses and anklets on birds of prey.  I bought a hide and a quarter and it almost broke me!  That stuff is not cheap!  I can only imagine how fine the rawhide would be for bow backing.

Gus:
After reading this thread I been doing some digging on the net and at local suppliers (Houston).

I have not been able to find any Roo Rawhide readily available as of yet.

So I'm guessing it is pretty hard to come by.

Pat B:
        We used to buy roo lacing and hides from a company called Austral Interprises but that was back in the early 70'(that is the 1970s  ;D)

gstoneberg:
Tandy still has roo lacing in their catalog, but it's $70/25yds.  Calf lacing, which is nearly the same color and  thickness, is $30/50yds (and is what I use now).  I used roo lacing for the first few bows I made as back then they sold it by the foot.  Now you can only buy spools.  I can only imagine what a whole hide would cost. :o  Sure wish I'd seen this before James....and Pat.  :D
