This is the Gallery of "Wolf Creek Whips" - Rachel McCollough

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".

Sorry for hijacking. Let's remember this is Rachel's thread to talk about how awesome Rachel is and her whips!

Rachel, your plaiting is awesome and your whips are awesome and you are awesome. :)
Now we are back on track.

On a serious note, you really are an awesome whip maker and person.
Thanks for showing us the progress on this one. :)

Rachel, my son is very happy with this. He thinks it's awesome and I'm inclined to agree! Thanks!
I'll give it a try, Dad, but it's going to be really hard...kind of like trying to saw something in half using a banana.

He is! I hope that when he gets it, he will have long forgotten the meltdown that occurred when I told him I had to send his other whip away and that he wouldn't ever see it again. The promise of a brand new one made just for him did little to soothe the pain that day. I have a feeling, though, that this one will get here and he'll be like, "What other whip?" Fingers crossed...lol

Thanks, Ethan!

Scott, fingers crossed!

Here's a sneak peek at the handle for the WB Dog Shelter Campaign, and the one on the bottom is a handle for another whip That's been a long term project. Sitting on top of the bottom handle is a piece of hematite. I cut in the initials today- never did that before ;)
That's for the Bull whip.

Very nicely done Rachel.
The end of Lances bull is looking very special indeed.
