You can contact Neil directly through the PM system for inquiries. He is truly a gentleman and craftsman, if you order from him you will see why others are judged off his craftsmanship.
While I may be a "newb" on this board, I have been involved with quite a few fishing forums and the general attitudes are similar. In any event I am posting a pic for the sake of the heavy posters who need to see something to believe it. :p As I said before, Neil is a true craftsman and pictures do not really do this justice.

In that case, aren't you supposed to hold the strop near the camera with you in the background to make the strop look HUGE? ;)Quote:

Just kidding. You've got a quality strop from a quality gent.
ENJOY!!
Don't be put off by our demand to see pics, Caysea! We have a phenomena on this forum of strange 'Neil Miller Trolls' Who profess to have a strop by him and sadly, do not! It is called the 'Inadequate Strop Denial Syndrome', or ISDS.Quote:

Seriously, Nice strop. Thanks for the pics! Oh! "Newbs" are a good thing around here. We get to see different stuff!

I need to get off my wallet and order me one of them thar strop thingies from Neil. Use it in good health.
A proper strop indeed! A lovely thing.
Try holding either of these like that. :rock:Quote:

Thanks to Wullie, this has gone way off topic. I would like to see either of you strop or shave with those catches.
Some of us are born with unique talents that should be shared.Quote:

Actually it is related. When I cured out the bills, I was seriously considering using them to strop with. In that it seemed like Neil really needed the $$ I decided to buy from him. :-) Took the bill and sanded it down and my daughter painted it. It is on a shelf in my office.
Welcome CaySea: A beautiful catch on display there. Congratulations: If you continue to bless us with your presence. You'll learn this forum is not a macho "mano-a-mano forum. We just enjoy congratulating each other on their accomplishments and "Quest Finding Their Holy Grailsl".
Thanks for posting a pic.Quote:

Well, no one pounds his chest as Neil does! ;) Stick around and get to know him. Quite the mind, old Neil!Quote:

Sooooory, Neil. Not having met you in person, I did not realize this pic on last Christmas card from you was indeed NOT you!

Pray tell, who could it be?? :shrug: :)
Ma-in-law, obviously...Quote:

The wife drives like a bat out of hell and the poor old biddy went sliding from one side of the seat to the other. HAR!Quote:

Turns out she branded me an alcoholic and drug taker for 'leering, at her. I went back on the offensive after that. Drug-taker, indeed!

I like your style. If I had been smart I would have divorced sooner, based on m-in-l because chip off the old block does hold true at times. At any rate, glad I did stick it out till three great kids that are a comfort to me. Ask them about their mother and they all will reply, "She's not my mother, she's yours and your other sibling."Quote:
