Vintage Sears "Crafstman" Strop
Well, I was feeling a little impulsive and put a bid in on this strop on eBay.
It's marked "Scotch Tanned Butt Hide" so I am assuming it is horsehide.
It appears to be a little wrinkly and was curious how I should go about straightening it out?
As for the Leather, I plan on giving it a light sanding then cleaning it with some saddle soap, then a little neatsfoot oil.
As for the cloth side (looks like cotton), should I just give it a good rub down with a moist cloth?
