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".
Very nice looking, Rachel. I brought the whip that you made for my Little Man with me today and received many compliments on the fine job you did with it. Thank you again!
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.
I think all the donations whips look great so far - except my contribution! As I hope I made clear, I think this is 'interesting' - and potentially 'fun' - rather than 'good'.
In progress, time to get it ready to crack. Its owner has been very patient (Thank you!!!).
It is charcoal gray.....
And the wood for the handle will be beautiful.
I'm headed to the shop to trim some to go in the vise.
Bloodwood... I know that it's called that name, because of the red color it takes, when you sand and file it. But why not "Rasberry Wood", or "Cherry Red Wood"...? Wouldn't that sound very much nicer that "Bloodwood"? The same with the "Blood knot". It seems that the guy who named those things is - or was - a huge Star Trek fan. Sounds all very Klingon to me
Robby, it's actual name is "Satine" wood. That sounds much less Klingon to me.
Satine and charcoal grey are going to be beautiful together. Keep them coming lady
Thank you, Roy! And thank you for always helping me find just the right kind of supply I need for a whip when I need it. That makes all the difference!
Robby, Satine would be more like Shakespeare in Klingon, perhaps?
Thanks for the explanation, Roy!
