These are the same strops I use on my personal collection. Final side is balsa wood for use without any compound for a final cleaning/polish or with a metal polish to really bring out that mirror finish and hone the edge. Longer than most commercially available strops

Maple base and finished with heavyweight natural cowhide one one side (grain side) and balsa wood on the other. The leather is meant for a medium grit compound to remove burs and hone and edge. The balsa wood is great for that final polish with a fine-superfine compound and is the only thing I will use to bring out that mirror polished edge.
Strop surface is 12.75" long x 2" wide , 17" overall (2 sided), 17.5" overall (4 sided)
Strops are sold individually without compound. For best results use Dia paste or other quality compound on the leather side, and Maggard Razors Chromium Oxide Paste 0.50 micron or White Diamond polish on the balsa side. These will work with the wax based compound but for a great edge use premium compound, it makes all the difference.

2 sided are 55$ shipped in the US
4 sided are 65$ Shipped in the US.

Will combine shipping with knife purchase for a 15$ discount
