    Default New Strop

    Strop a gentleman gave me a while back. The hardware/ bolster, handle, etc. Trick420 made for me. I at least put them together. :)

    It's a thin piece of leather...dunno what kind and a nice medium draw.

    Look on the bright side ... if Doc were Australian he would be talking about Kent and his thongs

    Like the handle on the strop, is it a piece of wood ?

    True story...ex wife is from the Western part of the US. Not long after we were first married she came home and said she bought me a pair of thongs to wear. I was quite confused. I'd been a boxer man and wished to remain this way.

    Yes, handle is wood.

    This may become one of my favorites for weird thread of the year...

    "Hey check out this cool new strop!"
    "Looks nice, Let's talk about Kent's feet now..."

    Anyhoooo.....

    That handle is made from zebrawood that I got from Brian (Paco) a long time ago. It turned out pretty cool. I think I'm going to (finally) remake the handle for my personal strop out of it as well.

    Rick, I got dibs on that strop if you every decide to sell it! Turned out great!

    You shouldn't be putting coke in your nose in the first place. It's bad for you.
