Solid Hardwood Base Modular Magnetic Paddle Strops

Solid Harwood Based Magnetic Paddle Strop

These are good quality paddle strops made from a base of a variety of solid hardwoods, only lightly sanded to retain most of the woods natural charm.  The overall length is about 18" (varies slightly - each item is hand-made and is a one-off) including the handle, by about 3" wide by about 1/4" thick.  The paddle has a good solid base.  It has been treated with three coats of Renaissance Wax to make it moisture-proof and to add a subtle sheen that brings out and enhances the grain.  The handle is cut to the style of a favourite Victorian paddle strop I own.

These paddles are fitted with heavy duty magnetic panels on both sides - the panels measure 300mm x 70mm.

Please note that paddles are sold individually and do not come with stropping panels - these must be purchased separately

Magnetic Paddle Strop Pros:

• Easier for the novice to use - no need to worry about keeping it taut!
• Lighter and more compact than a loom or a hanging strop, so good for travelling with.
• Ideal for pastes because it does not sag - sagging contributes to edge rounding.
• User can select a variety of different materials.
• If a panel is damaged it is easily and cheaply replaced.
