So I had been thinking about buying a paddle strop from Whipped Dog or another vendor until I stumbled across a paddle "blank" at Hobby Lobby this morning for $4.50ish after a 40% off coupon. Took it home, cut some denim off of a scrap pair of Levi's, staple gun presto change-o I've got a paddle strop!

My primary strop right now is a split side Walkin Horse with a cotton webbed backing. The split side is more like a suede feel than English bridle or Latigo. I don't currently have anything loaded with CrOx.
My question is should I load CrOx onto the denim and add a leather backing (bridle/Latigo) to this paddle? Or should I double down on the denim and leave one side CrOx and one side raw?
Anybody have a good source for 3" leather? See some options on Amazon but for much longer lengths than I need.
