This is a large 250mm x 60mm x 20mm single sided leather bench strop made from European Beech and vegetable tanned premium bovine leather. The beech is sealed with shellac and a Stroppy Stuff logo is branded into the back.
The leather is trimmed all the way flush to the wood backing, unlike most strops where they purposefully undersized the leather. The edges of the leather are carefully beveled to stop the leather from deforming or fraying, however the beveling is very slight, to allow you to strop all the way up to a plunge line.
This leather is vegetable tanned bovine. It's very high quality leather and I hand pick pieces to ensure they're as free of defects as possible for an organic material. There will however be some minor differences in the leather such as small marks or creases.
Grain side vs Flesh side.
The grain side of the leather has a smooth, polished texture, while the flesh side has a more textured, fibrous finish, providing slightly different stropping experiences for your tools.
If you're using a bar compound like chromium oxide, the flesh side is generally better, otherwise it’s purely a matter of personal preference
