What to Do (If Anything) With the Loose Ends?
Shalom!
I recently purchased this strop on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=120056002779
It's in beautiful condition, and the linen strop is, indeed, still wrapped in its original wrapper -- does it get any "mintier" than this?
My questions are:- Both strops have "unsecured" loose ends; should I get a large "D"-ring (ala Dovo strops) and have the ends sewn or riveted around the flat part of the "D"-ring, for better handling/holding?
- If so, should I attach a "D"-ring to each one, individually, or have the two strops connected to a single "D"-ring?
I'm sure that a traditional shoe-repair shop could do the sewing; but what of the idea, etc.?
OK, one last question: what about the DOVO strop dressings? yellow for the leather strop, and white for the linen strop?
TIA for sharing your knowledge and experience!
