Oh! I missed this last year because of university, hopefully I can donate a whip this year (once I'm able to find a job to support myself lol)

Ahh makes sense! I'm sure with a little bit more time you could do it

Mark, I love it! That knot overlay method is so obviously, but I never even thought of doing that! :O Well done, it looks amazing~

Wow 10 years? That's an incredible time, congrats Robby!

Thanks Ethan and Scott! I actually have another inverted set coming up soon lol

Thanks Nadine! And yes, actually, these ones are back plaited to avoid any frayed ends at the tip

I have a small carabiner that I loop at least 10 crackers on (nylon and kevlar for fire!) wherever I go cracking

Mark, the whip looks great!

Jyri, that stockwhip looks amazing! How'd you get the english eye to work? Did you plait from the tip? And if so, how did you have a keeper as well?

Mark, can't wait to see the final result~

I've known about this crack before, but have trouble doing it with some of my whips because they're so stiff :O

Jyri, your damn conchos are so beautiful! :O

Thank you very much everyone! ^_^
It's quite humbling to be praised for my patternwork haha

Mark - the work shown in WB always is inspiring! Just gotta find your own style and perfect it :)
Ron - the whip was actually a bit stiff, and so was a little difficult to crack at first. At the moment, it ...

Hey everyone, I have two new whips to show! :3
