Horsehide Leather Strop

As I posted, this was to be a Beginners Strop for my son to learn on. If he cuts the hell out of it- -so what? My Shell Stop and my Antique Strop are safe. As of now, I strop for him, while showing him 'how'. The site makes no pretense about it not being a 'Beginners Strop' they state that right off the bat!
I wish chay2K good luck in his search for a high quality Horsehide Strop. I guess if all else fails, he could order one from SRD and have a saddle maker or such cut 1/2 in from both sides, but what a literal waste of Horseflesh!
