Jim,

I already ordered the 90000 from Rasage. My primary reason for buying it is that it appears to be a functional work of art.

I would be willing to buy one of the metal pieces like he uses for the other strops if that would fit the grommet on the canvas one.

Maybe if you approached him from the art appreciation standpoint he would be willing to sell one. We do use our strops differently here, and I wonder how one can pull the canvas tight when it is attached by a cord. Wouldn't the canvas curl across the width?
