Type of Leather for a Strop
Hi all. I see many discussions on strops, stropping, the usefulness, and so on. My question has probably already been covered. What I am wondering is there a specific type of leather that works better than others?
I have some veg-tan leather that I use for making various leather pieces for another hobby (I am a middle ages re-creationist and make armor out of it). It is 7-8oz and 4-5oz. I was thinking of trying to make a portable hanging strop from it and was wondering if anyone thinks this is a bad idea.
Thanks!
