Modular paddle strop from SRD

I have been wanting to design and build a high quality loom strop for a while now, but I can't find a good source for high quality stropping leather. Would like to get my hands on 3" wide cordovan strips 24"+ long.

It might be good, but it looks like you can only get pieces that are a couple of square feet. I might roll the dice and give it a try. Thanks for looking.

The SRD strop is well thought out and constructed to last a long time. You will not be disappointed.

For the last few years I have used an aluminium modular paddle by Mr Neil Miller and it is superb

Have fun !

I agree. I got an extra scrub leather pad to use with the CrOx crayon and sprayed the .5 diamond on the felt. I have found 5 laps on the .5 diamond felt followed by 5 laps on the CrOx scrub leather followed by 20 laps on the plain scrub leather and finished with 50 laps on the bridle leather produces a wonderful shaving edge.
