    Default DIY Strop

    After few difficulties I finally finished my hand crafted strop. Everything is made by hand, no power tools. Edges are round and finished and it is hand sewed too. It is 45 centimeters long and 7 centimeters wide and about 0,3 centimeters thick. It is made of veg tanned cowhide.

    I've been using this since I got it done and have to say that my other strops has been just hanging on the wall without use. There is nice draw and I like the wide of this strop. It is just perfect for most straights. And of course it is a delight to eye on my bathroom wall
