How much polishing compound is in the block provided? The pictures provided show a larger block being used to cover the leather.

Not sure how many ounces - but it does cover the surface very well and there is a lot left over for future applications. I think it used up about 25% - but the initial application will take the most to cover the surface then the touch ups as needed won't use up much. The leather strop is first rate and i have been able to polish my hand plane blades to a nice sharp shine.

What animal is this strop made of? Cow hide?

Hi there, The leather strop is vegetable tanned leather with the cow leather bend Feel free to ask any questions and have a nice day! Best regards, BeaverCraft support team

Can other compounds such as CBN or spray diamond be used?

This is a piece of leather! Can you put spray compound on leather! If so yes and I have rubbed several different components on mine it works fine!

Anyone used for tools; chisels and plane irons? Any good or just for knives?

I only use this for chisels and plane irons. I used contact cement and glued it to a piece of 3/4 MDF. Instead of the included compound I use trend mirror paste on the smooth side provides a much better edge. I use the lapping films and float glass method for sharpening so a final strop is all I need. If I used stones I would buy 2 and have one for rough side and one for smooth.
