My Own Strop !!!!!

During the NC meet Doc was kind enough to send me home with a piece of nice 3" wide leather since he knew I was looking for a new hanging pasted strop....
I went into town, and low and behold, we actually have a place that carries the hardware necessary for putting these together... Right there in the Tack supplies for saddles I found 3" D rings and Chicago fasteners coupled with a clip swivel and Voilà I now have a new hanging strop for .50 Cr paste...
Thanks Doc for the leather, I mixed the Cr paste with Dovo yellow conditioner and just tried it out, worked great and it will only get better as it gets worn in.... OK I sure ain't no Tony Miller but it was sorta satisfying to make my own strop :)

Nice work. Looks very professional!

Looks pretty good, and definately fit for purpose.:tu

It looks like you did well, Glen

it must feel very satisfying :)

Nice job. Home made stuff is awesome!!! Id like to eventually be able to make it all myself. Soap, strop, brush and razor. Not sure if i can make a hone...but that would be awesome...

wow Glen that sure looks better now than when I gave it to you use it in good health!
