So Im making a strop like he has. I got a 3x3x12 block of balsa and some tough but smooth leather. I was thinking of doing two sides with leather at least, and then two sides with balsa. And maybe do 1micron diamond on the backside of the leather, .5um on the smooth top of the leather after sanding it, then .25um on balsa, and then nothing on balsa? Or should I do nothing on backside of leather, then 1um on smooth leather, .5 on balsa, and .25um on balsa? Or should I do three sides of leather? Also what grit should I sand the leather and balsa with? Ill take a picture of the leather in a minute so you can see. Thanks!
