Whip Basics. The Forum

Thanks a lot Guys, re. Handle i have braided using the classic over two and under two sequence.The thong is four seam braid (over four under four)
The name of this kind of braid that i used for the handle is called: eigtht seam braid (the same pattern that i used to plait the total length of the Robby's whip ).

That makes me even more curious for the whip which is on the way ????

Robby

Great work Giovanni!
Congrats on your new whip, Robby.
As Others has said, i am curious to hear - and maybe see - Robby's thoughts on this long handle whip.
The nylon whip is amazing, orange and black match really well together

Thanks a lot Enoch!!! :-)

I wish You All Merry Christmas and a happy cracking 2015!!!!!
See you soon !!!!!

...here we are Guys!!!
this is a bullwhip that i made some weeks ago, here below some specs:
Bullwhip 5 1/2 ft
16 plt overlay in black roo
10" overbraid handle in saddle tan
Whem I made this whip for italian customer, I've just thinking to create and reminds me and develop a different style of braiding for the handle.
I've thinking to something that reminds me a strong personality to this handle, some kind of pattern that would reminds me a primitive and archaic celtic style....
And here it is.
I hope you like it
Kind Regards

Wow, that's a good looking handle on a good looking whip. Never seen that kind of design before.

Very nice, I love the handle.
Good work Gio, someone's going to be very happy I'm sure.

Amazing work, Gio!!

Overlaying your overlay. Nice touch!

That's extremely stylish, Gio! Brilliant work!

Very sweet whip fine job!

Like the handle design Gio.

Reminds me on an ancient sword handle wrapping. Very well made, Gio. Great work! Thank you for the pictures!

Robby

Nicely done Gio, I like that ancient look. Like Robby said it reminds one of an old sword handle.

Thank you so much Guys !!!! So now we have the name of this style of pattern, what do you prefer?
A. Ancient sword braid?
B. Ancient sword handle braid?
C. Ancient sword wrap?
D. Anciend sword handle?
Thanks again
H.A.N.D. ( it's another creation it's means have a nice day) do you like :-)

I prefer D: Ancient sword handle

Robby

I would go with C or D probably. Not a very definitive answer, but I'm really bad in picking between options :P

C or D for me also

And for me...
