Uno momento per favor (waitaminnit). Fits in your hand? I always assumed your balsa strop was strop length. What are your optimum dimensions?
Typically a balsa strop is 3" x 12", and I use a 3/4" acrylic plate and 1/4" thick balsa glued to it, then lapped and treated with the diamond paste. See The Method for more details, without which you probably would not be impressed with your results.
