Thread: thewiskeredbat strops on Ebay UK?

Glad my reply was of use to you. Yes I bought 2 different thickness's of leather from them, both untreated, and used neets foot oil to treat them. I found that using a little at a time, letting the oil soak in, and deciding if it needed more and trial and error from there. If I used too much i'd cover it in newspaper and put weights on top to draw out any excess.

I have made 6 or more in this manner and have felt on the back of one with 1/4 micron diamond spray and another with chrome oxide another one to make a paddle etc the list goes on. At what you can buy a sizeable piece of leather for you can experiment to your hearts content knowing that if you do damage it when stropping it's not going to cost an arm and a leg to replace.
I'd defiantly recommend giving it a go yourself and you too can try different oxides or diamond paste/sprays without great expense
