Attn Leather Pros: Homemade Strop - Shiny Leather?
Hi guys. I just made a big strop on a perfectly flat piece of maple I picked up, almost 4 inches by 16". The leather I found at the leather shop, cowhide as you can see. I glued it down one side suede-face down, and one side grain-side down.
I feel like the grain side is too smooth. Is it normal to rough it up a little? It has literally almost no pull to it and is almost like glass. I would have bought latigo for this, but at the store I was at, they only sold latigo in the full half cow piece. See pics.
