Guys I need a new strop for my convex blades, but most decent sized commercial ones are expensive. I was thinking of making my own with some leather and plywood. Can I use any kind of leather? Jantz knife supply sells some leather fairly cheap. 12" x 12" for $10. Can I just eboxy that down to a piece of plywood add some compound and be good to go??

I know convex loving horn dog has an answer for this.....
