I am brand new to all of this, and am wanting to make my own strop. I have plenty of leather, as I repair and restore furniture for a living and keep many scraps from leather furniture. I have stripped much of it down to bare leather and want to know how to make a strop that is serviceable. Nothing fancy, but will do the job. It is all furniture grade leather, like from seat cushions, so is not thick and rigid. Looking forward to all the help.
