This is the Gallery of "Exowhips" - Tyler Blake

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".

Here is an 8.5 foot bullwhip with a 13 inch handle I've just finished- I decided to push myself, I've kind of stagnated on my fancy plaiting for some time now so I used 2 new (for me) ones on this handle- the Sun, and the Interlocking Diamonds.

Okay, Tyler. Send them over to me. Those are way too nice to sell them. I'll take care of them :D

Great work. As always. Thank you for the pictures and the explanation.

Tyler, having seen some of your whips last weekend, I can imagine the more easily just how magnificent this new creation actually is! Well done, sir!

Tyler, that's beautiful! Very well done, perfectly straight.... Beautiful!
I like that even though you're very good at what you do you still challenge yourself. There's so much to learn, there'll always be something to try.
Fantastic!

That is an outstanding piece of functional art.

Outstanding work Tyler !!!

You've nailed the new fancy plaiting patterns which is another case of you nailing something new on your first attempt ( just like you did on your first stock whip, the Snow White whip and so on :) ) !!!
I was given the oppurtunity to try out your work on the meet & greet - WOW - your whips perform like a dream - my greatest compliments to your work !!!

All the best
Ben

Thanks David- that is high praise :)

Thanks Robby! I'd love to, but there is the small matter of my customer :P

Thanks Robert!

Thanks Roger! Roger and Robby, I think the only sensible solution to this dilemma is an Epic Thumb Wrestling Tournament.

Thanks Rachel! I agree, there's so much to learn, one should never stop doing it :)

Thanks Roy, Ron, and Ben :)

Great goodness, that's a wonderful handle. Some day I need to try the whole pattern plaiting for handle designs.

Thanks Craig! Thanks Ron... I will try that on and see if feels comfortable... This probably sounds weird, but I've had an irrational dislike of the word "Posh" since the 90's, due to certain "musical" group... I realize you meant it as a compliment though, so I do thank you :)

And you too Robert!

Tyler, I'm happy to say I'd totally forgotten that musical group.... :)

I had never heard of that group and after Googling the band it's probably a good thing I missed it.

I was in high school at the time and it was kind of impossible to avoid either hearing people talk about it, playing their "music", or trying to imitate them. I shudder at the memory.
