The "Making of" Gallery - Rachel McCollough

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".

You call me a conspirator, Sir? A conspirator? How dare you!

Okay... The whole thing is veeeeery undramatic, so to say. I was in need for a special type of whip, I will use to demonstrate/teach some cracks and techniques during the WB Meet & Greet 2018. Especially on hip-shoulder rotation and overall body mechanics. There is much more to whip cracking than most people can even imagine, right? I need a whip which rolls out very slow and does all the work by itself. From my experience the Amper style whip does the perfect job on those requirements. And something special on the handle. But I will leave that to Rachel, when she's ready to reveal that last, little "secret" :)

Robby.... conspirator ?
If the smoking jacket fits...... wear it.
Cool picture. It reminds me of "Master Piece Theater".

I just love the rustic look of this whip. Especially I like the wood for the handle. Theres a lot of life in that

Looks great! And I am surprised it's "only" a 6 ft .... Looks longer to me for some reason. I would have guessed 7 or 8. ;)

Wolfgang, Thank you! Yes, the heavy fall adds a longer look to it, I think ;)
