Whip Basics. The Forum

Thanks Ross. I was thinking the braid might be more of a transition in flexibility, the tradeoff being a slight bit of bulk. Will try the 4 point some day.

Whip #33 this is 8ft tan and another customer order budget Bullwhip (these are certainly popular )
It rolls out well and cracks like thunder!

Good job Ross.
Especially after having no time to plait in the recent past.
It's like a lot of things. Use or loose it.
You didn't loose a thing.

Ross, your plaiting is consistently excellent! A fine new whip!

nice work, Ross.

Thank you guys, this time I was very grateful that it was just a budget whip ordered otherwise I might actually have collapsed due to lack of sleep trying to get everything done! :Lol:

Whip #34 my first attempt at a performance hybrid whip with a little personal twist this has a 16" bamboo handle & a 5ft thong with a twisted taper. 18" fall and 6" cracker.
It cracks easily and flows out nicely

Very cool! Great job.

It looks like it would crack well.
Good job Ross. You nailed it on the color. It matches nicely.

Ron

Thank you guys once you get used to the speed of it it cracks very well.

Ross, I realy like the personal twist on you PH whip, well done sir!

Thank you Ben

Whip #35 this is a 12 plait 6ft budget Bullwhip in chocolate brown with a wooden concho featuring my logo. This will now be standard in all my whips unless they have the custom 'initial' concho

Whip #36 this is an 8ft 16 plait custom made Bullwhip in the colours of the South African flag with a silver ferrule and a 'G' concho.
This is the prize I submitted for the 101 challenge and is now on its way to a very deserving winner

Very nice, Ross.
How does it crack.

Ron

I echo Ron here: very nice!

Thanks guys

Ron the budget whip cracks well, the 8ft whip cracks like thunder with no effort whatsoever!

Whip #37 this is a 7ft Bullwhip I made last month as another experiment, it started out bright orange but using wood dye before waxing and then boot polish after I have come very close to that elusive 'Leather look' that the Indiana Jones cosplayers want it's not perfect but I now know where to tweek the process to perfect it


Ron she cracks well

Whip #38 this is an 8ft 16 plait bullwhip in red & black with a two colour twisted fall, a diamond plait handle & a T in the heel know.
This is a customer order and now on its was to Germany:)

Ross, that Indy whip really looks like leather, until one examines it very closely. Well Done!

I very much like the two-colour fall. Very stylish!
