This is my 3rd – and hopefully final attempt at stropping these blocks. This time with loops I made from 1/8″ Amsteel . There is no stretch in the strop doing it with this stuff — and I’ve improved my seizing technique a bit also. It is terribly rough on the hands though. I did two and will let my fingers recover before moving on with the rest.
