This one is made with gray 7/64" Amsteel Blue. The clew end has a large sliding eye (because I think a large eye should resist chafe better than a small one). There's a locking brummel at the sheet and the two ends run down the center of the sheet. They are lockstitched in and go about a foot before tapering.
This version is definitely the tidiest one, and almost certainly the strongest as well. I'm not sure, however, that it's the most practical. I suspect that the strop will wear out sooner than the sheet, so a removable one might be the preferred way to go.
All in all, though, it's been an interesting exercise.
