i saw a couple of nice DIY strop threads and decided i wanna try make one myself as well for CrO and if its good enough maybe for every other day stropping...

i went to a leather shop and they are selling scrap pieces of leather for ok prices... i looked at the pieces and they seem very nice in the hand , very soft and the leather is thin... not thick....

but the main concern... what am i looking for ... how thick should the leather be? can a good strop be made out of thin cow leather ? or thin goat leather?

is it better if it is thick?

also how should it feel on hand i saw the other post and i will be aware of wrinkels and imperfections...

thanks alot and please let me know what you think i should look for

any opinions apreciated

best regards,

Iulian
