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".

That was very nicely done.
Maybe a little closer would have been nice. :)

A difference in pics you can see the excess wax, and when the hairdryer is used, the removed wax.

That's another very sharp looking Amper Style, outstanding work as always, Rachel!

Are you using a towel to remove the excess wax? So far I've only used kitchen paper, but a towel sounds like an great alternative.
