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".

Rachel, my greatest compliment to your making of galllery!
The 100% roo whip caught my eye in particular - WOW - the taper of the core/ the entire whip looks so smooth!
I'm assuming that you've made the TT out of tapering strands which creates a continues taper, just like a shootbag!
All the best
Ben

Thanks Ben! Yes, tapered strands and dropped a few strands too in the core.

I built this some time ago and haven't posted pictures of it.

Very nice indeed, Rachel! And there's something about that handle that just shouts, 'Take hold of me!'

Excellent job Rachel.
I like the color gradient in the handle.

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

Pretty! You remind me that I need to make a whip soon. I have been slacking I guess.
Due to rising costs, dirty deeds are no longer done dirt cheap.

Rachel, I love the way you use the colors of earth and nature - and the handle and thong lioks finished together.
I can't comment on the plaiting, but U know how at least one if your whips perform
Today is a good day

I think that the color of the thong perfectly complements the handle. Well done, Rachel!
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.
