Darl might know. As it came pasted, he will have to say. Looks slathered with the stuff!

Darl and I can provide detailed pics!

Nope, one sided, with a light coat of crox

It's pretty thick right now might have to even it out a little before I get busy with it.

And to correct my initial description, it isn't rubber on the top surface it is a leather top. I was seeing the dampening movement from the felt and I assumed it was a rubber. My apologizes.

Nice Lipshaw, all the ones I come across are beat to death.

You are right about that friend. Beat to death, and grossly overpriced as well.
I got this for about 80 dollars.

Yeah, but you have to admit, that one is pretty simple and dedicated to CrOx. The everyday 2 sided users are tough to find.
Neil makes some fine panels for them.

Billiard Table level of Crom-Ox

Indeed Tom. The everyday standard 2 sided Lipshaw strop, in good working kit are a rare bird. Me thinks you and I raided the world for the last few left in decent shape. And as you said no one, but no one can rejuvenate a Lipshaw with proper leather better, then are own Neil Miller. In fact I have to place an order with him for some more panels when he's feeling better.

Har!!!

Indeed, Darl, Neil's leather is like a slice of heaven. Speaking of which, I cut my red bridle, on the edge. CAed it and sanded, Works fine but it still bugs me! Neil????
BTW, Tarkus. Show the folks the box lid which this strop came in. Funny!

It reads:

"Personal Property of K. Zimmerman Do Not Use"

Then in between that writing reads the following.

"If caught with this strop in your possession you will be severely beat about the head and shoulder region, impaled on a broken off 500 ml graduated cylinder, then disemboweled before the whole dental ***** (crossed out) in Galagan auditorium"

I thought that was just the best thing I ever read. Now that's my kind of women...
