Just noticed how old this thread is
I'll use this stitched to the box/drawer technique again, it turned out very well and had a better overall look more I think in keeping. Should it become stained or filthy, you undo the knot, pull the thread out and replace with new if you cant clean it.

Charity shop. Buy a belt!
For box lining, I bought a whole skin of pig suede from GH Leathers. Cost £25 plus £9 delivery (delivery charge is a bit steep, but it's quite large parcel as it comes rolled on a card board tube and is around 3' long. I'll be able to get a few box lining out of that.

I like the way it is marked as "used"
Do you think that strong enough to stand up as a strop please?
No sorry, cross purposes.
It is good for linings if boxes which is what I used it for. For a strop, I would use an old belt. Whilst you wait to get one you could use a piece of MDF.
It might be ok as a strop- Phil used old sofa leather in a previous post, but is too expensive for that purpose and I would expect a bit soft.

Agreed Marcos. I'm using sleeve from an old jacket and yes, too thin for serious stropping.

This is so perfectly timed. I am just coming to the end of a jewellery box build and I was wondering what to do with with the inside. Thank you.

Any tips on what scalpel to use? Saw a silverline one on Amazon for a few quid and had 24 blades but a few people said it wasn’t great. Could do with something I know I can get replacement blades for.
