Made a couple of leather strops

[EdB]

Hi Guys, I went out and got some leather and made a couple of strops for myself, cut out the handles out of a piece of Jarrah wood I have left over from making some furniture years ago. The bridle leather is 6mm thick x 73mm wide with a heavy suede on the back and its usable length is 51cm with a 74cm overall length, the hook is from 4mm stainless. The second I made from a 5mm thick smaller leather piece and ended up with a usable length of 34cm and same width. Coated them with Neatsfoot oil on both sides and the handles. I still have one more small piece of leather left so might turn it into a paddle board strop at a later stage. I think they should last for quite a while.
