My suggestion, if you're not going to go the newspaper route, would be to go to Hobby Lobby or Michael's and get a 1.5" wide leather belt blank. You may or may not need to treat it with neatsfoot oil. From that point, REEEEALLY practice your x-strokes. The good thing about this, though, is that since you have a longer surface to strop on you can take your time on your x-strokes and make sure you hit the entire edge.
For a "linen" component, you may want to take a look in the wiki here on how to make one out of an old pair of jeans.
With those two things, you could cobble one together pretty easily.tintin likes this."Willpower and Dedication are good words," Roland remarked, "There's a bad one, though, that means the same thing. That one is Obsession." -Roland Deschain of Gilead
