Stropping Block

Recommended Posts

Well my stropping block is ready for the jewelers rouge, I put a fine strip off to the side to sharpen my edger.

I hope this improves my carving somewhat.

Ok, I put the jewelers rouge on the leather and it did a fine job of polishing it but I'm not certain how to apply the rouge.

Should the leather be wet, is the rouge rubbed on the leather as is or is something else done to soften the rouge?

The rouge is building up in ridges on the leather which can't be good for the knife edge.

The knife is cutting much better and actually swivels in the leather now.
