My whips this far

[Jyri Haveri]

Number 16


7ft bullwhip with english eye, which is my very first one i made this way. 2 bellyes and 16plat overlay.

I really like this colour scheme, and you've done really well on the english eye!~
I've always wondered, how do you do such a small transition knot without worrying that it'll slide around?

[Jyri Haveri]

Thanks Brandon!
I make some binding with waxed thread so there is small bulge in the middle. When you make your knot it really grabs it becose of the shape. I have used a small leather strip as well in some of my builds.

Very nice indeed, Jyri - and I like what I take to be the 'Finnish blue' very much!

[Sir Roger Tuson]

That's a nice build, Jyri. I've yet to try the english eye and reverse plaiting - it's on the list of things to do though!

[Ron May]

Nicely done Jyri.
The handle looks really nice.
Be proud.

[Jyri Haveri]

Thank you everyone!

[Ben Varsek]

Very good work, Jyri!

The plaiting and the knots look very clean and precise, the plaiting patterns on the handle and the combination of colors look very stylish and the video that you've posted about this whip shows that it performs fantastic!

All the best
Ben

[Jyri Haveri]

Thanks a lot Ben!

[Ethan Mitchell]

Very Cool! You did a great job on your first english eye!

[Flemming Bo Christiansen]

Jyri - I like it. How long is the handle ? It looks longer than i maybe is, but is it for targetwork !!

How does it perform - can't wait to see

Flemming, i measure it when i get home from work, but it is quite long.

Here is a short vid about it.
In Finland we use these orange plastic tubes to mark roads so when snow is being removed the tractor wont go to grass next from the road. They are 2-2,5cm thick and thats how my wide my target is. When i'm out i use them as a target and with this whip i can hit them quite often.

[Flemming Bo Christiansen]

Jyri - that look great, and for me it seem like it just roll out very smooth. Thank you for showing

Be carefull, that you don't spread ideas - for one second I just have that thought that i would be fun with some orange markings in the Garden - but in that case they would miss somewhere else

[Jesse Bessette]

Jyri, I really like that color combination. The blue and gray look really great together.

[Robert Gage]

Jyri, this is great!

[Jyri Haveri]

Thank you!
Flemming, the handle is from the heel knot to the transition knot 33cm or 12,9 inches. It is carbon arrow filled with bbs inside paracord.

[Flemming Bo Christiansen]

[Jyri Haveri]

Flemming, by all means if i can give any help i give it!
