Whip Basics. The Forum

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

Jess its no problem at all

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.

Ron

You're welcome.

Knotty time.
Hard to see in the picture but it is a deep bright orange.

Rachel, I really like the pattern on the handle and the color combination... yes!

Ron

Rachel, my son is very happy with this. He thinks it's awesome and I'm inclined to agree! Thanks!

Nice pattern Rachel!

Ron, Jyri, Thank you

Scott, thanks, if he's happy it is just right. That's the most important opinion of all

Exactly, Rachel. Thanks!

Looking so cool!
Scott, your son is a lucky boy!

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.

Ron

Hmmm, stocky stock, I'm intrigued!

Erik thanks, me too

Ron thanks, epoxied on and it fits just right. This will be Scott's, for his son.

Now its ready for knots.

It's looking very nice indeed Rachel.

Ron

Nice

That looks awesome. He is going to be deliriously happy!
