How to make this Scotch Lassie pretty again
The leather strop is in pretty good shape with only one real nick/flap. The leather is pretty supple, feeling a bit dry at the ends but pretty supple overall. The linen is in great shape except for some fraying at the edges. Here are my questions-
1. I assume contact cement is best for the nick/flap, correct?
2. What would be best to treat the leather with?
3. Will I be able to get the leather back to a more uniform color?
4. Is there some way to stop the fraying on the linen?
5. Are there sources for hardware that would be similar to what was original on the strop? It came with the linen and leather just tied together with twine.
6. Any other tips?
Thanks!
