It's great stuff, but I never have figured out an elegant way to seal the cut edges, so they
don't unravel. I'd appreciate any suggestions about that.
As for the leather, latigo has a pretty heavy draw. 3-4oz Veggie-tanned back strap makes
great razor strops. Avoid the "belly" portions...too many veins and variable thickness.
Veggie-tanned leather can be pretty dry, but you can adjust the texture by slowly
conditioning it with oil, over time.
