I am making myself a strop
Today, I ordered a Straight Razor Designs 3" Red Latigo Leather Strop Replacement and I will make a strop from it.
I realized that I wanted a personalized one and as I already experimented with leather, knots tying, and wood carving, I could make myself a super special leather strop.
So I will make a wood handle, carved a little bit if possible, and could add a decorative knot somewhere. As I just ordered the leather strop, I will work on a design while waiting for it.
Any suggestions are welcome.
On a side note slowly making my hand at stropping on a leather strop, I even began to use the cheap strop with a wood carving knife. And I must say that I will benefit from this. I found a better and faster way to strop my wood carving knives on a leather strop. I use the same technique than for straight razors and it works very well.
Until then, keep on stropping,
