This is the Gallery of Giovanni Celeste

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".

Like it? Love it! Excellent work, I really admire the handle. The colors and style are seamless in the design, beautifully elegant work, Gio!

That is a stunning handle. Did you 'turn' it yourself or was it a piece of twisted wood that you adapted?

Gio, this is absolutely stunning! Simple, elegant, unique - a real work of art.

Is the handle made of willow?

Hi my friend thank you so much for your kind feedback!!!
re handle is a twisted willow.
I'd like to build it myself, i know how it was made but in this moment i don't have the place, space and machinery to work it.
So, I prefer to order it :-(
Thanks again

It's ok if you disagree with me.

Gio... You are crazy! That whip, in that combination, is simply perfection. Wonderful looking piece of art.
We have to do more with this. More people should see this beautiful design. Wonderful work. Wonderful.

For those who believed that "simple" can't be beautiful, I point you to those pictures on the last page. Wow.

Thank you so much Tyler, when you work on this particular handle you don't have nothing to do but simply maintain a simpler and more harmonious design.

'Simple' does not always mean 'elegant', but I think 'elegant' almost always means 'simple'. :)

The handle is very cool and I love the twisted weave at the end. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent work Gio, I love whips with wooden handles and I love this beautiful design with the twisted handle.
Oh, I think I can't withstand such a unique great piece of art. :D :D

All the best
