Thanks, Craig!
Just one single color of paracord that is Multicam, which has about 5 shades/colors of thread in its own weave.

Sweet! I've been meaning to pick up some katalox myself for a while, but I just haven't pulled the trigger.

[Robert Gage]

Very nice, Rachel - very nice!

[Rachel McCollough]

Efren, thanks! It's a quite heavy wood- I really like it for grips.

Mr. Robert, thank you very much

[Jesse Bessette]

What exactly is a steer whip?

[Tyler Blake]

Excellent Rachel

[Rachel McCollough]

Thanks, Tyler!

Mr. Jesse a Steer Whip is my version and name for a not-fully-loaded Bull (a slightly trimmed version of a bull- a Steer )

It has a fiberglass rod of variable length (to which can be added a little lead weight for balance to the handle/heel if wanted) and no transition knot. I start a shorter length plait (short herringbone, diamond, etc), which I believe is a little stronger and offers more support to the transition, a few inches past the transition and on up the handle to the heel. What you don't see is I do this on every belly as well. Because of that I chose to make it a feature and not put the transition knot on it- everything in the open and seen. I use a handcut wood grip to finish it.

Because the handle is lighter I can make it as nose heavy as I want, or heavier to the heel. The thong pattern remains the same.

[Jesse Bessette]

Ok. Thanks for the information. That's definitely a cool concept. I like it.

[Rachel McCollough]

Thanks, Mr. Jesse.

[Jesse Bessette]

Just Jesse is fine. I hate titles. The only time is ever use a title is when I'm at a reenactment. And then, I'm known as the Sergeant. My persona is a former sergeant in the British Royal Marines who served during the War of Spanish Succession.

[Rachel McCollough]

That is neat! Will do, Jesse.

I like this concept of single belly whips. This taper is amazing. I love every aspect of your whips Rachel From beautyfull wooden handles through fantastic colours and mindblowing plaiting to this tapered cracker.

[Rachel McCollough]

Thank you very much, Michal

[Sir Roger Tuson]

Certainly eye-popping colours :o

Rachel, can you describe your single belly technique? I would have thought two bellies at least to get the taper right on an 8 footer.

[Robert Gage]

Magnificent workmanship. as ever, Rachel - but I just can't manage to like red and green side by side!

[Roy Partin]

That is very nice looking Rachel. Congrats on sending a whip Downunder. That's kind of a big deal.

[Ron May]

Another beauty Rachel.
Not the colors I would have chosen but very eye catching and well done.
Roy's right. That is a big deal.
