    Default Very Cute Paddle Strop. Suggestions for restoration?

    Click image for larger version.  Name: Paddle strop 2.jpg  Views: 882  Size: 46.9 KB  ID: 104147I scored this cute little paddle strop for only $5. It's about 12/5" including the handle. As you can see what is left of the leather is paper thin. I would sure like to fix it up and use it for a travel strop... however I'm not a leather worker.

    Any ideas about who might fix it up for me? It currently has leather on both sides. Should I see if it is possible to put cotton, or linen on one side?

    Sorry, I guess it's a loom strop. The leather is only attached to the very bottom of the frame, and the handle screws in and out in order to stretch the leather. (I'm such a noob! )
