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, this is the Triplett set I’ve been working on, yes sir. The towel holds heat away from the hand and catches any excess wax. Just don’t wash it with your clothes, obviously!

Nicely done rachel! I take my whips to sauna with me when they have flaking.

Great job Rachel.
I like the feature of being able to remove the keys for ease of use. Great idea.

Excellent job Rachel.
You sure have a handle on making those.
My favorite one is the darker one. Beautiful.

Racehl, these handles somehow truly show us the pleasure you have in working with wood! Great!

Ron, thank you, that Granadillo is also my favorite! It can be finicky, but it is a good heavy and beautiful wood.

Rachel, have you ever used a scraper for additional help in fine tuning before sanding your handles?
You do such good work on these, maybe the scrapers wouldn't help that much.
