    Gee, I miss Trey. He and Leighton made a heck of an impressive pair.

    Yup Scruplworks, IMHO. The best linen you will get and a professional job on the piece. Tc

    Westholme does as well. I think 3" linen is hard to source. Tony Miller stopped selling it with his strops.

    Good to see some options.

    Just wish there was a US supplier. I'd like to have a nice linen strop but I am on a budget too.

    After weighing the options, I ended up getting a new heavy cotton strop from Tony Miller. He made it exactly to length (20") and sealed the ends. I made the holes for the Chicago screws myself with an awl.

    Tony got the new strop to me in about 2 or 3 business days -- great service as I'm sure is no surprise to anyone who has bought his products.

    I really like the new fabric. Seems a little quieter than the original fabric I had.
