You call that a strop?!? It looks like is was...
Seriously, Glen, it looks great!cut, formed and finished with an exacto knife, pakistani razor, flat head screw driver, nail set (used as punch), ball ping hammer, and a solder iron (to burn through when the nail set didn't make the hole big enough).

That's a great job. Let us know how it works with the razor.

Thanks again all.
I've been stropping my razors with this strop and it seems to be doing really well. There's a few small areas where you can see where the leather isn't even. Rolling a quart jar over it didn't take all of this out but it improved it. Lexol is keeping it supple.
It's not as nice as tony's strop but it's a good 2nd. I already know the linen does really well. It's from the same bolt that I put on the emergency strop I made with the grommets. That strop did really well with the same slight depressions in some of the leather.
