Picked up another Lipshaw item today. A Crom-Ox pasted strop in minty condition. Its construction is a wood base with a felt underlay on top of Crom-Ox pasted rubber. Cant wait to give her a go.

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

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.Quote:

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. ;)

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.Quote:

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! :rofl2:

I thought that was just the best thing I ever read. Now that's my kind of women...
Dude! If that was YOUR kind of woman, We could call you 'graduated cylinder butt'. :rofl2:
It gives the phrase 'graduated from' a second, slightly sinister connotation, to be sure:
1st ex student: "did you graduate from Oxford?"
2nd ex student: "no, but I was severely messed-up in Cambridge."
1st ex student: "oh, bad luck old boy."

Could be Karen Zimmerman of the American Association of Dental Research, Iowa branch. She gave a lecture in Iowa University's Galagan Auditorium in 2014.Quote:
