grovsey 74 Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Cos roo is far more supple and far stronger. Lip is not ideal for jessies ect,its more suited for hood making Quote Link to post
KenKeeping 13 Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 I contacted Jeremy about some Roo, and when replied, he seems a great guy to talk to about hides. and from what Ive been told from someone on IFF, his stuff is first rate! Wish my fingers were supptle enough to have a go at hood making, but sadly not. I will stick to the basic ancklet and Jesses for now. Quote Link to post
grovsey 74 Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 you dont use roo for hood making ( well u can but not in the main ) you use kip thats not expencive and holds it shape great Quote Link to post
