Whip Basics. The Forum

Rachel, my greatest compliment to your making of galllery!
The 100% roo whip caught my eye in particular - WOW - the taper of the core/ the entire whip looks so smooth!
I'm assuming that you've made the TT out of tapering strands which creates a continues taper, just like a shootbag!

All the best
Ben

Thanks Ben! Yes, tapered strands and dropped a few strands too in the core.

I built this some time ago and haven't posted pictures of it.
7 1/2 ft 14 plait single belly cow whip in chocolate brown with a 15" Bocoté handle.

Very nice indeed, Rachel! And there's something about that handle that just shouts, 'Take hold of me!'

So very Cool! I love the chocolate brown thong.

Excellent job Rachel.
I like the color gradient in the handle.

Mr. Robert, thank you!

Ethan, Ron, I appreciate it!

Beatiful!

Pretty! You remind me that I need to make a whip soon. I have been slacking I guess.

Jyri, thank you!

WS, thanks; I know how that is, you are so very busy right now. Hang in there.

Very beautifull. i wish i could make so great thongs as you do.

Georg, thank you! You will, and you can! Practice, lots of making. You can do it!

I hope so, but with all your great support and the tips that are always given in this class forum, I will certainly do it one day.

Georg, you certainly can!

Rachel, I love the way you use the colors of earth and nature - and the handle and thong lioks finished together.

I can't comment on the plaiting, but U know how at least one if your whips perform

Flemming, thank you very much! The natural colored ones are my favorite!

Another beauty, Rachel.

Chocolate, yum!

Mark, Sir Roger, thank y'all very much!

I think that the color of the thong perfectly complements the handle. Well done, Rachel!
