I wanted a good sharpening strop.
The one I wanted was $70 USD.
Instead I decided to make one. This is not finished but I thought this might be interesting to someone.
I glued two free, large paint stir sticks together. I am then in the process of gluing some scrap leather to them.
I will finish the handle,trim the leather then apply sharpening compound to the leather. It should then be finisehd.
