Every woodworker will appreciate receiving a BeaverCraft knife polishing wheel as a gift. Whether you're into spoon carving, bowl carving, general roughing out wood, delicate chip carving, or other types of wood carving, having super sharp wood carving knives is essential. This leather sharpening wheel simplifies and speeds up the sharpening process.

This buffing wheel, made from natural leather, will become an indispensable tool, especially if you're tired or bored of constant stropping and want to reduce the time spent on it or at least do it faster when necessary. Typically, the leather stropping wheel is used with any power rotary tool or a Dremel. The central hole allows you to mount it onto the tool, secure it, and voilà, the leather sharpening wheel is ready for action.

Using the polishing paste with the leather stropping wheel
Once the strop wheel is attached and secured, ensuring it's ready for use, turn on the power. Secure the rotary tool to your workbench using clamps, for example, and grab your polishing compound.
With this sharpening wheel, you'll receive our green-gray polishing compound, which will make your blades shiny and mirror-like. Gently apply the green-gray compound across the wheel while it rotates until the entire narrow surface is covered. It's similar to coloring with crayons, so channel your inner artist and mimic that technique.

Polishing with the strop wheel
With your tool secured and the wheel prepped for stropping, take the tools you plan to polish and gently slide them left and right on the wheel. This allows the compound to coat the bevel, and as the wheel rotates, it polishes the tool. If you're unsure how this should look, check out our YouTube channel where we've uploaded a video demonstrating how to use this tool.

Usefulness of the sharpening wheel
Owning a stropping tool like this is incredibly practical. Sometimes, you might enjoy the traditional method of stropping with a leather strop, holding it in one hand and the tool in the other, imagining you're sharpening a barber knife like in the movies. However, there are days when you just want the job done without hassle. That's when a strop wheel like this comes in handy. It completes the task quickly and accurately, providing the desired polish in no time.
