Looks like a nice strop! I still like my CowHide strop:) Not looking fit a new one any time soon!

My best friend was very mad when he wore out the mittens he had made of horse hide with liners knitted by his Grandfather. He wouldn't stop wearing them though because they were made to be used.
His Grandfather learned to knit when he broke his leg in a logging camp around 16 years of age. While he healed they had to make him useful so they taught him how to knit.
If you can strop and/or hone a razor let alone shave with one you can fix a pull cord!

Howard, it's English Bridle.
Parker, thanks. It took me a year before I bought me second.
Tim, actually, I do (or did) know how to knit. Parts of school holidays were spent knitting scarves for some reason. Also flying kites, visiting museums, eating sandwiches by fountains...
My School holidays were spent working on the farm. That is what we did.
My father milked cows in the morning so we didn't have to work before school but we did it at night.
I miss that! I had to leave the farm to make a living so here I am.
I wish that I could teach my children the lessons that i learned.
