Finally got around to making the Stratocaster strop handle & fixtures.
If anyone remembers I wanted to make a hanging strop for the Stratocaster inspired scales before putting it up on e-bay.
Well, I finally got around to making the strop handle and fixtures that were to my liking. To be honest, this is the second set of fixtures and the third handle. So I got a little better with practice.

The handle is Purpleheart, finished with tung oil and buffed to a semi-gloss finish. The little hole at the bottom is for a pin matching the one on the razor. I can't peen the pin or make the washer because the familly is sleeping.
The box too is almost done, just have to add contoured cutout and flocking.
I'll be asking Tony Miller to turn this handle and fixtures into a strop.
What do you guys think of this handle and fixtures? Do they go well with the razor?
