Thread: What Makes A Great Strop

The bottom I cut a 3 inch piece and folded it over, hole punched them then sandwiched each strop to hold the D ring grip. For a swivel I bought a piece of leather lacing and just tied it on. The remaining hunks of leather I will use to make board strops for pastes.

I like your idea of sandwiching the fabric on the back side of your strop. Very cool idea.
That eliminates the need for putting a handle on the fabric. Again, cool idea.
