My home made strop (pics)
Hi Guys,
I finally got all the materials together to make the strop I have been planning for a number of months. The strop is made of bovine leather sourced from a specialist leather company who supply leather for high end markets like military clothing and test match cricket balls. The webbing is sourced from a local saddlery and is very thick. I am delighted with it.
My workmanship is certainly not up to the levels of Tony Miller but I am pretty proud of the way they have turned out for my first effort. See pictures below. The strops are 3" wide and I can strop my W&B meatchopper (pictured) without needing to use and X pattern. It is certainly easire to strop on this than my little dovo one!
I made two strops as I had excess leather after making my flat bed hone and my own hanging strop. If anyone wants the other strop then it is £20 ($40) delivered to anywhere. I will be happy to refund the whole amount if not satisfied. I just want to go some way to cover the costs of making my own strop.
Thanks
Rob
