This is the Gallery of "Gator Whips" - Roy Partin

This new Gallery replaces the former "Masters Gallery", which will work from now on as pure archive. Here you will find not only the work and art from folks who sell whips, but also from folks, who create their whips out of pure passion. And we have an additional gallery. It is called "The Gallery - Making of".

Excellent work, Roy. Are the medallions with the letters actual brands from each customers?
I'll give it a try, Dad, but it's going to be really hard...kind of like trying to saw something in half using a banana.

Roy, lovely handle and lovely whip.
I totally agree with Rachel says:
Absolutely beautiful, that grain pattern in the wood is outstanding adding a special charm

Gio, I thank you kindly!

The American Brahman Breeder's Association is holding their annual convention in my old stomping grounds of Kissimmee Florida. They asked if I would make a cow whip to be auctioned off at the big convention. Since my family has a long standing relationship with the ABBA, I couldn't turn down the request. This is an 8 feet 16 plait in chocolate brown with a Goncalo heart wood handle(aka Tiger Wood).Image

Beautiful whip, full of heritage! That is a fine piece. That grain is fantastic. Excellent work, Roy!

I see somebody's cute little toes, peeking out of that other chair too ;)

I like all your whips, Roy, but a chocolate brown one with a medium-dark handle has got to be my favourite. Excellently done!

Does anyone love Roy's furniture as much as his whips? I'm just sayin'... those chairs are pretty righteous.
