Jessie, I found that cord that comes with out the strings like 650 is harder to do this with than the cord that comes with the strings like 550.
I think it's because the weave in the 550 is looser and more forgiving than that of the 650.
The coyote brown I am currently using for bellies and falls is really easy to insert bead chain and BBs into.
I did find some bead chain smaller than what you can buy at Home Depot.
I chose #3 which is 3/32" or .093" in dia.
BBs are .170" which would be about the size of the #10 bead chain.

It's reasonable in price and it works well for me.

It's ok if you disagree with me.

Thanks. I have the #3 ball chain. I also have 550 paracord with strands in it, but it won't match the whip. I want matchy matchy.
I'm just going to work this whip a bit and it might straighten out. If not, I guess the fall will be black and weighted.

Jessie, I told you on Facebook, this is a beautiful piece; honestly, it's probably one of my two favorites, both tied for that spot. One is the compass one (I forget that name you gave to it, but I love it) and this one is the second. I love how unique they are.
Now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates.

Even when you made your fist couple of whips, all of them had a very high recall value - that very stylish and unique "Jessie look". I've already complimented you on creating your own style so fast - especialy since you are using so many different materials and methods for your handle designs.
Now I want to compliment you on your fast progress and improvement in whipmaking - every picture shows how fast you are improving on each and every workingstep which is invloved in whipmaking - you can be very, very proud of yourself Jessie !!!
All the best

Don't know what to name it eh? Sounds like that's the Trouble with Tribals. *ducks* Seriously, that is beautiful Jessie! Did you ever try the lacing bodkin for making the loaded falls? It's easier to thread through than a needle.

7 foot Steampunk whip with a hand carved handle over copper, a glass cabochon sits in the heel plaited in midnight blue. It is unloaded, but still quite heavy. It's very nice for the 20/20 challenge training. It's weight forces you to take your time. It seems to be nice and straight for targets too. Whip #17.
