The problem: The cupboard door, strop, and I blocked the entrance into the bathroom - adding an obstacle to SWMBO's busy mornings. Should such a strop be delegated to hang in a cupboard, hidden from admiring eyes??
The solution: see below. Now my strop & I are out of the traffic pattern, and my strop has a functional frame, at a focal point in the shave den. This is my very first project with my new scroll saw. Let me say that learning to use a straight razor has been much easier than learning to use a scroll saw. I went through 4 blades making the strop board. Let's just hope that doesn't happen in my SR learning process:)
