Hi all,

As usual I am here to pick brains....

I made a strop from some leather that looks identical to this:

Now my question is, the leather i have has a very fine sorta suede texture to it on one side, and a very rough texture on the other. Most of the strops I have seen have a shiny finish to the leather.

Is this different leather to the stuff I have or has it been treated in some way?


Hope you can help me.

Cheers

David
