Whip Basics. The Forum

Hello Guys,
this is my last post before my summer holidays!
I'll be back on my lab on September.
I wish you All a nice holidays
Gio

Here the whips:
Standard Bullwhip 7' and half
12 plt with short harringbone O2 U2 at the half part of the handle










The next whips are a bunch of eight short whip recently made: 3 Bullwhips - 3 Snake whips - 2 signal Whips

That is a whole load of leather there Gio. And all beautiful, naturally. The close up shots of the thongs really show off how tight and even the plaiting is.

...yes many leathers...Many Thanks Sir!! ;-)

They look really good Gio!

Thank you a lot Jyri

Stunning, Gio! And so very desirable!

:-) Thanks Robert

Pretty, Gio! They have such cool character all piled up like that. Im finding taking pictures of the whips is almost as fun as making them.

I totally agree with you Jessie!!
Thanks

Beautiful work!

Gio you have been hard at it! Lots of work in those pictures right there

I really love the short herringbone on the handle of the 7' bull whip- so subtle, but so classy! It just adds that something extra!

Your fall hitches are perfect! And the heel knots as always are very comfortable looking.

Understated elegance.

Many thanks Scott and Rachel, the last two months i was very busy on the whips..
Rachel, as you know me and my knots are always happy about your feedback :-)
Re. the half part of the handle i like so much put a little different pattern on the handle as you write to adds that something extra. i think it adds a little bit of movement to the design of the whip.
Thanks again.

There is so much labor, skill and knowledge represented in those pictures!

Wow Gio! Such beauty! Amazing...

Thank you so much Tyler and Geoffrey

Mr. Celeste, thank you for sharing these beautiful pictures of your work!
The pictures of the black bullwhips, snake whips, and signal whips are mindblowing!

Enjoy your summer holidays!

All the best
Ben

Thank you so much Ben!!!
Happy holidays to you!!!!

Gio, as always I am impressed by your level of skill and the love and care you put into each piece. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Jeff,
Thank you for your replay, very kind of you

Hello All,
After many music concerts, I finally came back to my lab and I have the pleasure of new jobs made for the same customer:
16 plt Coral belt and Coral 7 '16 plt snake whip.
The red and black strands were dyed by hand.
I hope you like it
Gio
