Custom Veg tan/oiled leather

I just got this from a leather worker friend. It's his first attempt at a strop and it's not finished yet. He's going to emboss my initials on the veg tan side.

This is his first attempt at a strop, I don't think he did bad at all.

It's 20" long, 2 1/2" wide. Has a nice interchangeable handle, and can be setup to hold either belt or both at the same time. The stitching is all hand sewn saddle stitch.
