Jyri, I really like this whip - you should be proud of it.
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.

Wow Jyri, that's amazing. You've come so far in so little time.
If it cracks the way it looks, you've got a winner.
I congratulate you sir.

Jyri, nice job.
I like the heel knot treatment.

It's ok if you disagree with me.
I can't force you to be right.

Jyri, that's really very stylish! Well done - especially if it was a quick build! :)

Jyri, I very much like the orange bit you placed just above the heel knot. Good idea!

I'm still not completely happy with the finish of the concho as it is satin finish and you still see a lot of scraches but i'll try to get rid of them before the dog shelter raffle.

I have been making whips for few years. This is the 20th whip this far. When i got in the forum my phase in whip making has gone up quite a bit.

Jyri, once you have it polished back out to where you want it, you could put a coat of urethane on it. It would stop it from oxidizing.
Now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates.

I have to ask if my friend has it but you are right, there has to be something protecting it. Thanks! After nightshift it was all dark already even from only sweat from my hands :D

That concho really is good, Jyri. Hope you find something to protect it.
