A bunch of a nylon whip!!!
Hi folks, as i promised, here below no. 5 matched pair of nylon bullwhips 4ft. These whips will be cracked in february by no. 5 mechanical arms during and itinerant art exhibition that starts the tour from Rome !! it goes without saying that i'm really excited about this !!
These whips will be cracked inside a big room with high umidty level about 85%.
This s the reason why i decided to make these whips in nylon instead of roo.
Thanks in advance
Gio

The dark blue whip looks really good. But the Silver/White ones look like crystals. Beautiful work, Gio. Simply beautiful!

Wow. Those white whips look almost unreal, they're so... I don't even have the words for what I'm thinking. Like a dream sequence in a movie. Just awesome :)

...Shippet to Finland
Here a 12ft replica of the actual David Morgan production.
as you can imagine, it was very long and hard braiding this whip, but like all things, this is one of the funny part of whipmaking.
See you soon
