Jyri they all look GREAT!!!! My absolute favorite is #11!!!

6,5ft bullwhip with 13inch handle, two bellyes and overlay.

Thank you Ron and Rachel!

Jyri, these are all really impressive! Well done!

Very impressive work. I love the black one with the off-colored fall and number 11.
There's certainly a lot of improvement from whip to whip. Well done.

I really like the pattern on number 8. Very clean, too.

Very nice. I'm torn between the stock whip and the bullwhip with the wooden handle. I'm becoming more attached to wood on a whip lately.

Looks great Jyri!

The wooden handle ones are really nice - especially the stock whip. Which wood did you use?

If I can offer a word of advise - otherwise your whips look really good, but they would benefit
you paying more attention to the last foot of the plaiting. What I can tell from the pictures it's
a bit crowded at the end there. I would recommend reducing the diameter of the core or increasing the plait count.

Thanks everyone!
Erik, its spruce, an old broom handle wich i tapered, burned and waxed.
Thanks for the advice, i try to do better job. It is hard for me to decide when to drop strands and some times i do it too late and they do bunch up

#11 for me too. Gorgeous.

The last one is my favorite! I love how it looks, at a glance, like a half-plait stockwhip.

Thank you very much you all!

Number 14, bullwhip, 7ft, two bellyes 16plat overlay.

Jyri, you're just pumping out cool whips left right and centre!! I absolutely love your colour choices, very well done ^_^
How do you do your heel knots? They look chunky!
