Made this one for a member here (you know who you are) Veg tanned, 3" wide 25" oal handle is riveted with hand peened copper rivets as well as the door knob strap. Why rivets? My stitching awl gave up the ghost making the holes as I was finishing the stitching on the hanger portion! There handle is close to 7/8" thick ... Here's some process pix and finished strop enjoy and as always happy shaves!
Cutting/layout.

Airbrushing dye.

Looks nice. With all the rivets on the handle, I hope the owner never decides to take the kids to the woodshed. That could do some serious damage.

Thank you sir! The rivets were a necessary evil my stitching awl wasn't up to the task of puncturing through 5/8" thick leather.
