I still had a strip of leather from the shoe store from the time I bought some when my belt finally shredded. I do have a strop made by Tony but I wanted to make this one into a decent 2nd. starting dimensions of the leather was 29"x2.75". finished strop is about 25"X2.75"with about 21.5 length usable space on both linen and leather sides.

Before you laugh, keep in mind that I don't have the tools that Tony has. This strop was 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). Comments, Critiques welcome. The leather is still wet from Lexol.

Special thanks Tony, for selling me the hardware to make this into an actual strop. Doesn't compare to yours I know but at least now I have a bonified backup.
