I just got off of the phone with them, burgundy and some darker color yet are the colors that are available right now (the preferred colors for other stuff might be harder to get), I don't care if my strop is burgundy.

Takes a few weeks to get a shell, but once mine comes in, I will repost to this or make a new post. From talking to the guy at tannery row, they are not unfamiliar with what we want to make a strop, even on the retail side (where the pictures look more like wallets and stuff).

The longest #2 shells, which are 1.75 square feet, are about 25 inches long, so figure something a little under 25 inches for the longest strop you could get, and since they are sort of an oval shape, perhaps 2 of slightly shorter than that. We'll see. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
