project strops

[joelkerr]

So I have 3 strops to work in, hopefully I will be able to begin soon. I don't have a suitable workspace in my apartment, so I have to wait until it's nice enough to work outside. And it snowed again just yesterday....

Anyways, here are the strops:

Kanayama 70,000

I already worked a lot on the canvas side, so all there is to do is sand out a scratch on the leather. The leather is beautiful!


Clydesdale Horseshell

This one needs some sanding and rehydrating. The canvas could use a cleaning, too.


Sorry all the photos are sideways, I still haven't figured out how to rotate them....

C-Mon Blackie

I just got this one a couple of days ago. Not really a PC name, but a really nice strop. After restoring the black Arab Shell strop this winter, I was curious to see another blackened strop. The two are actually quite similar. This one also just needs some sanding and rehydrating, but the canvas will need a serious cleaning. The stamp on the canvas is quite nice, I'll have to figure out how to preserve it in the cleaning process.
