After settling in Sydney in the late s, the Birdsall family commenced tanning sheepskins in at the North Botany Tannery now known as Mascot. The large tannery prospered over five generations — and years — supplying quality leather skins to a national and international market. Now into its fifth generation and sixth generation too! Birdsall Leather specializes in kangaroo skins which have been vegetable tanned for lace and leathercraft. We also produce alum tanned redhide for whipmaking, together with leathercraft supplies, which play a major part of our product mix, including tooling sides, shoulders and exotic skins plus all types of tools, dyes and finishes. Stylish cowhide hair rugs are also available and other exotic skins such as Mongolian and Icelandic sheep skins which are new to the range. Leathercraft classes will be back up and running in the coming months after our big move. They are weekly for those wanting to learn this wonderful craft along with workshops on specific projects like shoes, whips, journals, plaiting, molding and much more.
