I'd like to try a CrO strop and bought a latigo replacement piece from SRD for this purpose. When I got it it was just TOO nice and I'm having second thoughts about smearing this beautiful piece of leather with green gook.

How about making the poor man's canvas strop out of a pair of jeans for this purpose? Will that suffice? If not, how about a chunk of balsa? Pakistani ebay special? My wife's favorite linen table cloth? (honestly, Honey, the girl must have spilled that split pea soup)
