Very good work Roger. One more beautiful whip to brag about. Congrats Pokkis on this addition.

[Terry Shaw]

Pokkis, so glad to see you finally got your whip! Roger, very nicely done sir! Using Finland's flag colors just supplies that little bit of extra thought for your client. Always a nice thing to see! Can't wait to hear more about the whip, Pokkis!

[Sir Roger Tuson]

Thanks everybody for your very kind words. The whip caused me more production heartache than all the others put together so it better damn well work properly!

[Bobbi Holyoak]

Very nice looking whip!

[Jeff Roseborough]

Really Nice. Yeah, the blue and white would have given it away for sure. congrats Pokkis!

[Jonathan Lewis]

Oh yeah, in an earlier post you said

Can I just say that I REALLY HATE KNOTS!

I don't think that's true anymore. The knots look really good!

[Gideon Rodgers]

Congratulations Pokkis!

Roger, that is a nice looking whip. Straight plaiting and everything.
Finland Flag very good added touch.

I don't think that's true anymore. The knots look really good!

Eventually, Jonathan, eventually...

[Alex Lewis]

Roger, that is one nice looking snake. Nice touch with the Finnish colors as well.

Congratulations to Pokkis on your new whip!

That's awesome! I love the "Finnishing" knot Roger, my wife was walking behind me when I was looking at the pic and she stopped in her tracks to check it out- Beautiful whip!

"Finnishing" knot

Very Cool Rodger!
It's an interesting choice to put a transition knot on a snake whip. It looks really cool though!
As much as you claim to hate knots… They seem to like you

Congratulations Rodger and Pokkis!

[Tyler Blake]

Jonathan, I can't take credit- Pokkis put it in his description under one of the pictures :P That is exactly the kind of pun I would be proud to call my own though.

Hello dudes and dudettes!

Been some radio silence from my part, but I'm still alive and have cracked Roger's whip. Sorry, no video, but I'm not that photogenic anyways

As said above, the whip is a pretty heavy snakewhip. Maybe even a bit too heavy for my taste, but I have very little experience with snakewhips in general, so it's likely that they would all feel strange to me. This one cracks pretty easily, but trying to do flicks or just about any kind of crack combinations ended up with me saying "Perkele". Again, that's probably mostly because of my skills or lack thereof, since snakewhips aren't really beginner friendly. And for single cracks it worked just good. Even my friend got it the first try, and his experience with whips is limited to a couple of cracks with my Yellow Bastard.

There's just one thing. The plaiting right before the fall hitch is very loose, and I have to redo it a bit. It's mostly just an appearance issue now, but might turn into a point of failure with time and use.

To put it short, I like it. Thanks again, Roger!

Thanks so much for that Pokkis. The whip IS weighted all the way down to the fall - I confess it's the first time I have ever done this so sorry for experimenting on you! I'm still playing around with different total weights. It seems that I may be over-doing it on the BBs down the middle.

The issue at the fall hitch where the plaiting is loose and needed redoing has also occurred on one of my earlier whips which only came to light a week or so ago when I went out for a good crack with my whole collection. Looks like I've got to pay more attention to that bit. Coincidentally, I'm just approaching that very point on my latest Bullwhip :o


Please keep the feedback coming Pokkis. It's fantastic to get this kind of detailed information back on one of my whips - the first time anyone who 'knows' whips has ever used one of mine, so don't hold back on the criticisms!

I'll let you know if I can figure out something else to say about it. It's just that your whip is basically the first whip I've cracked that was not made by me. Well... Ok, I played around a bit with a crappy souvenir stockwhip like 15 years ago with no clue how it works, but that doesn't really count :P

Whatever comes to mind.

Let me know if you manage to work some combinations or if it remains a single crack jobbie.

Oh, and I hope that all is going well for you at the moment. Thoughts with you, mate.
