I'll get the pictures up in a bit, but here's the deal: I made myself a balsa strop, and in the process ended up with five others. (36x4 balsa piece glued to 48x4 red oak piece and then ripped in half and cut into six pieces.) average balsa size is 1.5 x 12. Three have handles and two do not.
Anyway, I've got five left overs. So, sign up in the open and then PM me your address, and I'll ship the first five a strop. First three that say handle get the handles. Get it, try it and then if you love it, load up the box with your junk drawer contents, altoids survival tin, last years garden seeds, the contents of your change jar, that knife you "hate", or whatever else you find you have "extra" of and we'll call it an even trade.
I loaded mine up with green compound and it worked great and I'll load yours also for that whole --out of the box experience-- if you let me know. I wanted to load it with diamond paste, but was unable to pull the trigger because i'm not spending 12$ a gram for anything in a "carrier solution."
