    I have a table strop that is 12” x 3”. It has rubbery feet at each corner to give it some grip. The leather is a nice black bridle mounted on a 1” thick piece of hardwood. The leather goes right to the edge of the base on all four sides.

    I think it cost me $35 five years ago.

    The width is great for stropping without having to use an X-stroke and the height of the base and feet make it quite comfortable to use on a bathroom counter.

    I think you could take these specs and make one yourself for about the same cost. It’s a great way to recycle a badly nicked vintage strop.
