This one will have a stropping area of 3"x12", I think I'm going to cover one side with denim...
I will basicaly have nothing in it... Old jeans, contact cement, free wood, a little time...

Has anyone used buckskin instead of cow hide? I have some extra buckskin from Tandy and want to put it to use. Luckily for me I am also in need of a strop so I figured I'd make one. Any thoughts of the buckskin? Pros or cons mabe?
Thanks,
Sean
And by the way, all the paddles look great! I can't wait to post mine.
