Gio, absolutely stunning. You really captured the spirit of a fine wine in it. My first thought seeing the color was, "that looks like a merlot". Just beautiful. Stunned by your work as always.

Gio, your work on this whip is excellent- the color effects are perfect for what the customer described, you've done top work (as you always do!)!
And, yes, I think the heel knot might do ok too.....
No, the heel knot is more than okay! It's a work of art all its own. It fits perfectly in hand and it looks great too, not an easy feat!
Great, great job!

The heel knot colours work so well giving that wine 'stain' effect. Perfect, Gio.

Gio, I've always loved your whips, they're so elegant and beautiful. But the whip above is my new favorite of them all. Long black snake, snake head hitch with a red tongue, and all I could ever expect from you. This snake is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in my life. Countach
Thanks again for sharing your work with us. You're a real artist, and it's my pleasure to be in the same community with you.

Gio, it was my pleasure to say what I said, as always. I meant every word. I'm very glad to hear that the words of an amateur such as myself mean so much to you. I'm a big fan of your work and can't wait having enough cash to buy one of your pieces of art, hopefully that will happen soon.
Keep it up

Pokkis, thanks again for your kind words.
When you'll be able, I'll be more than happy to make a whip for you.
Take care
