    Default Westholme Arrival

    Well, Gentlemen, it arrived ! Yep, the strop I ordered from Alastair ( Summers ) of Westholme Strop. I had heard his strops were magnificent but didn't realize the craftsmanship involved. Not sure if I should frame it or use it ? Just thought I'd share it with you.

    Phrank, not sure if he posted photos or not. He shipped it the day after he finished. He had about 10 final orders to complete before he takes his break.
