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".

Thank you, Ben.

Here is the overlay complete on a 5’ Rachel Stock. It has finishing touches to be done, but it is near!

Rachel, I hate to tell you this, but there's a mistake in the first two inches of the handle part.





(made you look :D :D . Gotcha)

Beautiful.

Rachel, I am impressed by your craftmanship and attention to detail. I love being part of your projects from the sideline, by watching your pictures, thanks!

Ron, that was so mean, you scared me as well. Haha!

And two of three. Waxed, now for details. A little plaiting left on 3 which is Amper Style Elite.

Now, off to dark work for 24 hours, then back to plaiting after I get home Sunday morning and a nap. :D

I am always so impressed with the pattern and that it is completely flawless, but Racel.. what is the white between the threads on the thong all the way to the right. You don't usually wax your whips or?

Flemming, Rachel must of course reply to this, but I'm pretty sure she does wax her whips....

Yes sir Flemming, it is wax. It was a little cooler outside and the wax solidified before fully dripping off. It will be warmed with a hair dryer before I finish the whip, and will not be seen. It is paraffin, with beeswax and coconut oil added.

Yes, Mr. Robert is correct. If it is not leather, it is waxed.
