That is the first time I have seen anybody do just one "birds-eye" spread out like that. Looks awesome!! I sure am getting itchy get my hands on a Holyoak whip. Someday :-)

Thanks very much, Bobbi (and Robby). The Sonic Alignment has been added to my ever-growing wish list!

Thank you everyone! I just love you guys. I have no idea why I am nervous every time I post a picture.

Chris, very soon it is your turn.

With all the over-time I am being forced to work I should have extra money to get myself a gift :) PPL electric has a plant down and I am having to machine thousands of parts to get them back online :(

I am thinking a show whip! Maybe I should just email you lol

Bobbi makes fantastic whips, I have a beautiful show whip and I had the chance to crack a Sonic Alignment, it is a dream to crack both types of whips. :) :) :)


Best wishes,

Bobbi, I can only echo what has already been said- they all look fantastic, and that bird's eye deal on the thong is too cool :)

Thanks everyone. I really loved the bullwhip. I'm just finishing up a show whip that has the same thing on the thong. The guy wanted a "black rose". If I ever have time to make myself a matched set of show whips they will look a lot like this one.

This is the same whip. I made a Dragons Tail at the same time and I was really sad that I had to send them to different people. They should have been a set.

Wow Bobbi. Beautiful work on the whips. Love the copper on the one. Besides...you can't go wrong with red and black.

Something so classy about black and red, wonderful work as usual Bobbi. They do look like a natural pair.

That sure enough would have been a very nice set of whips. Great patterns as usual. You should do a remake and keep them for your own collection

Bobbi, I love the bird's eye on the thong of the dragon tail. And I think it looks all the better for the plainer design on the handle....

Tyler... I Insist on a whip musical! :)

These whips go to our very own Enoch. I have to tell you that this was an epic build. 4 handles, 5 thongs, 10 falls, 20 crackers and 8 different stainless suppliers later.... THIS is what we came up with.

Here we have a nice neon green whip. I think it looks pretty in the fall colors.

The show whips are some fine work! Is one pipe mat and the other polished or is that just the light?
The grey goes well with the stainless.
Did you flair the tubes as well?
I wish I could get closer views of them I thing they look perfect!
Bobbi: Earlier this year you showed a whip in front of your lilacs, it was about 6 weeks b4 our lilacs bloomed and NOW you show fall colours that are GREEN and our fall colours are mostly on the ground! I am jellies of your long summer!
