This is the Gallery of "Gator Whips" - Roy Partin

This new Gallery replaces the former "Masters Gallery", which will work from now on as pure archive. Here you will find not only the work and art from folks who sell whips, but also from folks, who create their whips out of pure passion. And we have an additional gallery. It is called "The Gallery - Making of".

That is a lovely handle Roy. And that turquoise sits out nice!

Uuuuuh... That handle is beautiful - the structure looks more than elegant. And the idea to combine those colors...
If anyone would have asked me before, I'd say no way. But now, that I see the finished whip, all I can say is: Great!
I am everything but good when it comes to color combinations on whips. The more I'm impressed to see what others can do.
Great work, Sir! Thank you for sharing. I think, there will be one happy rodeo queen

Roy, I have to agree with Robby: I couldn't have imagined that these colours would work together - but they do! A very fine whip!

Absolutely beautiful, Roy. Every whip you make is just a higher step up. This one is perfectly elegant but completely business too. Classy business. That grain pattern in the wood is outstanding, this is really special.

The wood grain is epic on that handle. No one does it like nature...Right when we think we can make something beautiful, the big man shoes up with something better. I love that handle so much.

Thank you all so very much.
Robby, I agree on the color combo. Had my doubts at first, but once plaited it looked like a winner. That handle is definitely epic and the pics don't do the real thing justice. I had to talk myself out of turning it loose. This whip is beyond loud with little effort. She should be able to learn basic cracks quickly.

That handle is superb. I also very much like how you returned the turquoise color in the fall.

Beautifull whip sir.

Roy, I would have had a very hard time letting that handle go.
Those don't come along every day.

Ah, that's more like it! That really is gorgeous! I love the colors, it reminds me of the way copper will sometimes develop a patina with turquoise in it.
