Beautiful Giovanni. I do especially like the checkerboard pattern on the bullwhip. For the stockwhip - I just recently saw a picture of an old whip with a similar axial keeper and have been thinking about it ever since. Yours is the only only other one, and the only modern one, I have ever seen.

Man Gio, These whips get better and better. They are all beautiful but personally I really like the black with silver handle. It just looks cool. I bet the 8 seam was very time consuming but hey, the finished product looks awesome.

Thanks again Guys for all your appreciations!!
Robert, I promise you that sooner or later you'll get one of my whip.
This is a small way to say you thanks for your passion, your commitment to the cause of whipmaking!

Gio - thanks for your kind offer, but - for the records! - that was only and really just a joke! I was not serious about sending them to me in any way! I need to say that, because I don't want anyone here to think/say: "Oh… Look at Mr. Amper - he expects to receive free whips…". I don't do that in any way. Serious, Gio - thanks again to you, but my comment was never meant serious and I don't expect anything from you or anyone else!

I must admit that i had reasoned with my heart without considering your role within the Forum ....
I thought to my friend Robert. In any case, I have one word and when i’ve more free time I will give you a special whip. (I also have the idea of ??the model :-) ...) Of course, my desire is not a marketing strategy but simply an act of gratitude to my friend. then when you receive my gift of course you will be free not to publicize it.
Many Thanks
Gio

I know that what you wrote, was written from your heart. And if you like to make me a whip, some day, I'll be more than happy, grateful and honored! I know that you don't do that for marketing reasons. And therefore it would be a great pleasure for me to show it to the world. If one friend makes a whip for another friend... Where could be a problem?

But thank you for your explanation. I appreciate it!

Robby

Hi All,
these are some of my work recently done.
Surely the braided leash has already been seen in previous posts, but I thought I'd put it in this space because it representative of what I do

Amazing!! I love the black and green whip and the Raiders dog leash is so cool and unique.

Giovanni Celeste · Post by **Giovanni Celeste** » Tue 4. Mar 2014, 17:56

Thanks a lot Bobbi, the raiders dog leash is my little pride because I think I was the first to have the idea to do it with an Indy look.
