Thank you, everyone!

100! congratulations!
I am proud to say that one of those was a rush order Bobbie did for me before combat con. A five footer in Burgundy and Forest green. I absolutely love it! It is extremely responsive and its a pleasure to crack. I am very proud to have it in my collection!

Very nice looking whip, Ben. And - as always - great work, Bobbi! Bobbi Holyoak was the one who convinced me to try a waxed whip, again. It's great! And it's still amazing to see how the colors change after waxing. For the better!

Handling this whip has actually made me think I should start waxing my whips. There is something about the way it moves…. but that could just be her awesomeness imbued in whip form!

Oh, thank you both very much! xox I love the wax. To me, it seems like the nylon whip is just a toy till it goes through the waxing process. Then, it becomes alive. I have had several people comment that my whips "break in" like a leather whip. I believe this is from the wax inside as well.

The wax is the difference between life and death with a nylon whip. Bobbi I would concur with the "breaking-in" period that wax seems to add. If I had to guess, I would think that the wax between layers (very small I know) breaks up and then acts as a lubricant between the layers and allows the fibers to move easier and smoother, improving the flow of the whip and quite probably the lifespan of the inside of the whip. Ever wonder what the bullets in a .22 round are coated with? Paraffin.

I digress, congratulations Ben! The burgundy looks like a dream after the wax.

Very classy looking whip. I say that a whip without wax is a whip without soul. There is no comparison

In the meantime I can agree. Like I said on the film on your whip - I became a true believer. There was a big evolution in waxing whips. I had my last experience in the stone age. But now... I can't imagine Roy's whip without wax. Or Bobbi's sonic alignment. Or Devin's whip. And I really think that the colors become so much richer. More life and spirit in the whip.

Congrats Ben,
Very nice looking whip.
As always - great work, Bobbi!!!!!!

Really nice, Bobbi! Congratulations, Ben!

Bobbi those are some beautiful whips. Congrats on breaking your 100 mark. I couldn't imagine making that many in a year...

Happy Birthday Bobbi! And 100 whips, that's a milestone.

Congrats on 100! I've just started no 8 so some way to go!

Thanks everyone! It does feel good to hit the milestones.

These whips should be arriving at Mario's house in a week or so.

I like the pair, nice contrast with the stones as well.

Beautiful Bobbi. Nice choices on the color combinations and I really like the pattern in the middle of the handle plaiting.

I love the colors of the whip on the right.

Loving the copper handles. How long are those falls? Seem to go on for ever!

Fantastic!

Roger, they do look like long falls, but on whips this short (5 foot?) it makes sense to me. Bobbi, are these falls about 30 inches?
