Whip Basics. The Forum

Thanks Philbert!

I was right Tyler, those are special.
You never disappoint.

Thank you Ron!

My wishlist of whips are starting to get longer and longer.

Tyler, these are one slick set of beauties! Wow that red and black is classy right there, and those knots!!!!!!
Amazing.

I believe that's called a pineapple knot?

Thanks Philbert, thanks Rachel! Philbert, I could be wrong but I don't think so. My understanding is that a pineapple knot is a specific style where you do an interweave through a given section. This is all under one, over one- it's enlarged from a 7 part 4 bight. There's a section on pineapple knots in my knot book but I haven't spent much time on it yet. Knots are frustrating enough for me that most of the time I find one or two that work and stick with that. Although, I have kind of a mantra about doing what's hard and inconvenient so that you'll grow in your craft, maybe I should just push myself on the knots more

Wowsers, those heel knots look like knitted baby socks....

That's a fine looking pair of whips Tyler

Ha! Thanks Fritz!

Splendid, Tyler! Absolutely splendid!

Thank you Robert!

Tyler, it's still some really impressive knot work there, came wait to see what else you try

Very impressive work as always Tyler!!

Holy smokes Tyler, you did torture yourself with knots. They look amazing and happy the new lace is working for you. Can you tell any difference in performance between the wave lace and dacron?

Tyler - I love the intricate handles.

Holy knots Tyler. Incredible work!

Oooo!!! Can't go wrong with red and black! Love them!

Those whips look sweet. Im not sure id like to tackle a knot like that though. My hats off to you.

Thanks again Philbert, and thanks Gio!

Thanks Roy! They feel the same when you crack them, what I mean is the flow is identical. Flexibility is identical, the wavelace feels a little softer and the black is darker but not as shiny. That's pretty much it so far...

Thanks you Craig, Grant, and Bobbi- I know, red and black is a great classic, isn't it?

Thanks Brandon! I had to have my wife make soothing ocean sounds while I worked on these knots to keep from going Quite Mad

Lol, thanks Tyler. Its good to know im not the only one that gets frustrated.
