Thread: 3 3/8" wide padded strop

I was stationed in GA and would jump students in to FL. I did my 3 years and went back to the frozen north. Lol to hot for me

Hemp will dry rot over the years from what old leather workers have told me. I used cream and Havana cigar colored, German braided and waxed 1mm polyester thread. Saddle stitched by hand for a 2 tone effect

I thought that's what you may have done. The camera angles kind of made it look flat to to these old eyes!

Outstanding!

Yes, that whole thing is very nicely done. Did you have a bulldog head solid stamp or did you work that in from a drawing with a tool? I'm sure I'm not saying it right.

Also, ever tried a hemp fiber canvas strop?
