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".

Tyler, I agree with Rachel.
I am partial to blue anyway, but that is pure beauty.
Have you or are you going to wax it?
I would hate to see that blue color change. What a dilemma .

It's ok if you disagree with me.

Thank you Charlie!
Thanks Rachel :) I'm so happy to have colors finally!
Thanks Ron! I am not, I test waxed a black and tan bull and the black shrunk horribly, it put a bad twist in the whip. I need to experiment a great deal more before I try it on a customer's whip.

Tyler once again you prove that Your The Man. Have you ever made a whip that was not extraordinary?

Johnny, I sure thank you but Boy Howdy yes I have made some whips that were decidedly un-extraordinary ;)

Hey Tyler, I remember reading on a post that you pre-shrink your cord by submerging in hot water and then drying it. Do you still do this? and do you still have differences after waxing even after taking this precaution?

I still hate Tyler Blake. I hate him for make me want all his whips. He's doing all that on purpose... :)
Serious - we have amongst the best whip makers on the planet right here. If it's Gio, Bobbi, Simon or Tyler.
The other ones are right on their way to join that elitist group. Not elitist by what they say. But what they do.

I'm surprised every single time when new whips appear here in the MG. Because every time I think that there
can't be any improvement, now. Well - look at Jessie's "Feather" handle design. Look what Rachel does.
By the way - Gentlemen...the girls come closer! Now we have three ladies who make whips.


Anyway. Tyler - your work is beautiful. I am proud to have you with me.
To have you with us.

It's quite the lineup we have here alright.
Not only beautiful whips but beautiful people!

Stunning, Tyler! All of your whips are very unique and the deep blue really speaks to me. The whole whip speaks to me!

I want one, one day!

Well - those whipmakers are a true inspiration for amateurs like me - the bar is certainly set high :-)

Morten, the bar is raised high, and constantly getting higher.

Deep blue. Lovely. And the grapevine service too.

The bar is indeed set very high but without that, what would we have to aspire to? :)

Hey Charlie,
I do- I did a test piece of cord and it shrank in wax, I figure the wax is at a higher temperature than the water that we preshrink with so there's a different threshold. Wavelace is made from smaller thread so I guess it just has different properties that way... I still have some experiments to do, but I've put it on the back burner for now.

Thank you Morten!

Robby, I can't return your hatred, I like you too much :p Making people want to spend money is my supervillain power! Seriously, thank you Robby, I'm sure proud to be here!

Thank you Erik, Morten, Charlie, Ron, and Roger :)

This is a matched 4.5 foot set- the customer wants to start performing and he picked the colors for being eye catching:

Heel knobs by Roy, of course :) I finished the Night Train thong I'm working on, I need to spend some time with the dremel and I'll be putting up the wooden knotted Night Train.....

Tyler, that pair looks like it's well up to your usual very high standard - but I can't say the colours do much for me. (However, I can understand the customer's reasoning.)
