Hey guys I decided to make my own strop today but now have a couple questions about the quality of leather I used. I went to Tandy Leather and purchased a 3" by 50" raw cow hide strip with a couple "D" rings and screws. It's nothing fancy but I'm hoping it gets the job done. My question is how "smooth" does the leather have to be? Should I treat the leather with anything before stroping or is this leather good to go? I see that the leather has a couple wrinkles but nothing that I thought was too flawed. Maybe some of you guys on here can shed some light on this. If pictures of the strop would help let me know and I can upload some later on. Thanks!
