Made a little strop the other day from a block of hardwood, with leather (flesh side up) on both sides. It's about the same size as a Spyderco Doublestuff, but taller to get a good hold while using it.
What's a good compound to use? I have some Autosol somewhere, but not sure if the grit is suitable. What about dry compounds, as used on polishing wheels? Also, is using the leather dry worth doing and, if so, what is the advantage? (Thinking of people using the inside of a belt as a makeshift strop, presumably without putting a compound on it.)
