I have a project to recover padded bar stools and would like your opinion of using the Kangaroo skin. I use the lace to make my braided leather accessories because it is soft and durable. Before I buy a whole skin, I would appreciate your professional opinion if the Kangaroo skin is a good choice.

The kangaroo would probably work pretty well, depending on the tannage of the hide itself.  A hide tanned for lace might be a bit crisp, depending on the style of the bar stool.  A softer tannage, like for boots, would work just great, but it would be expensive. Good choice tho.  I think I’d probably gravitate toward upholstery cow just because of the cost.
