    Couple nights ago I started working on this again. I couldn't stand having them laid out and not been put to use. I decided to go different route with coupler, different length and treatment.

    Strop #2 is smaller in length and most imperfections with regards to creases and veins. Measures 15" overall ( sans Dee ) and stropping length between 10-12" depending on how it's cupped.

    Strop #3 is longer with far less imperfections. In hindsight the coupler does look rather odd. I just wanted to have more stropping length at the cost of aesthetic values. Measures 21" overall ( sans Dee ) and stropping length 18 1/2"

    Overall it was good in spite of the flaws.



    Crease below right coupler from tanning factory. The stamp could be cleaner but it turned out ok. One can see the indentation from block stamp.



    #3 isn't ideally aligned to specs.
