Tent Canvas - Sunforger Army Duck Canvas Fabric | Natural | 10.10 ounce | 60" wide | Wholesale

Another possible source for canvas is Spring Valley Lodges (Welcome to Spring Valley Lodges). Tell Jim Irish sent you. He makes canvas bags as well as tents and might have material in the proper width for a strop.

Thank you very much for everyones contribution to aiding me in my question of manufacturing a strop.

I mean working hours and hours on something and not make the $$$ you should on it per hour. Or put another way...spending so much time on something you love doing it is hard to see a profit. I suspect the payback is satisfaction of creating something and having somebody love it. Sometimes that is pay enough.

Any work is good work1. 60 cents an hr is better than a sharp stick in the eye.
