Well, I did it. Went and got a kangaroo hide in veg tanned leather (black). Looks like it may make a lot of strops, but we'll see.

It is only 1mm or so thick, but kangaroo leather is supposed to be very strong relative to other leathers, so I will try a single layer hanger to start, and take it from there.

I will keep you informed of the progress.
