I have at last sourced some good balsa for my balsa strops. The balsa is 900mm x 100mm x 10mm. It wasn't cheap at USD 15 but it is very good quality. From that, I will make three balsa strops each about 300mm x 100mm.
As the balsa is only 10mm thick, I will need to mount it on some 8mm thick marine plywood that I have. This will give an overall thickness of about 18mm.
The question is, do I made the plywood just about as big as the balsa strop or do I make the plywood longer giving me a handle by which to hold it?
