Thread: Now for something totally different...

Well, I got tired of my make shift strop that I have been using, so I decided to do something about it.
Here's my first try at strop building.....(is that a term??)
I started with nice medium heavy red latigo that was free of blemish or wrinkles, 2" wide. Added some nice metal hardware (a must, of course )
And finished with leather lacing for attachment to whatever in the bathroom, and on the other end to go around the wrist to help give a nice tension to the strop without putting pressure on the hand.
let me know what ya'll think.

ps. yes, I made a couple of these with different hardware types.
and yes, I did get silly and engrave the bright cuts on the screw rivits. What can I say, it stayed still too long.....
