Whip Basics. The Forum

Wow, Bobbi! Three beautiful whips... no, fifteen or more beautiful designed whips. I like the variety of color schemes. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful and stubbing as always.
Great choiceof color
Bobbi!

That Valkyrie in chocolate and cherry is simply awesome. That color combination would've never come into my mind. But to see it now looks as natural as could be. Beautiful. Simply beautiful.

Bobbi you have been a busy little bee. I agree, chocolate and cherry is looking mighty fine but they all look splendid. Thanks for sharing that big pile of whips.

Those are beautiful, lovely work as always! Fantastic plaiting!

Thanks everyone! Now back to work for me!

Awesome Bobbi! I too, just love that chocolate cherry one in particular. They all look great though, and I'm always inspired by your productivity - especially in that quality!

Awesome, I love your work Bobbi.
My favorite is the Valkyrie in chocolate and cherry, too.
This is a fine color combination.

All the best

Very beautiful, Bobbi - as everyone has said so eloquently - but I'd be happy with a Valkyrie in any colour!

I just can't believe how much you produce. Well, I honestly don't even know for certain, but if "a few" means something like that, it's more than most whipmakers with a day job and a family.

And yes, that Valkyrie looks really cool

Wonderful work as always Bobbi, I am particularly intrigued by the Cherry Chocolate, I whipped up a sample of those colors a while back, but it takes a whip like yours to really do it justice.

Sorry I'm late to this but can only echo what the others have said. That handle on the 8' is outstanding.

Sorry that I'm late thanking all of you for your kind comments. I really do appreciate all of them.

So, here is a picture of the lemon meringue whip that I was cussing about earlier. I'm sure it is stained green by now, but it was beautiful and bright when I sent it out. (I just occurred to me that I name lots of whips after food.... lol!)



Here are 2 South Korea whips... I didn't take a picture of it but the handles have the South Korea flag in the heel knot.



Here is the 12 footer that I sent out today. and the last picture is the snake that inspired it so it makes more sense.

Ummmm...yeah, just WOW...

I just had to pick my jaw up off the floor. They are all awesome but that 12ft bull is incredible. Is that a California King snake? With all the drama in your life and you can still put out this work, I have much respect.

So incredible. Bobbi, you are such an inspiration.

Thanks everyone. You make me blush.
I believe the snake is a San Fransisco garter snake. They are on the endangered species list.... probably because they can't hide very well.

I do like how that whip turned out. It is really really strait and the handle turned out cool and snake like.

That's a fabulous inspired whip you made.. They're all beautiful, but the San Francisco garter snake whip? I can only echo Taylor... WOW!!

So perfect and beautyfull work - especially the 12 foot bullwhip. And I never saw a snake like this.

That 12-footer is awesome! I'm normally not that much into bright and flashy, but the pattern is really cool. You managed to capture the snake's appearance pretty nicely there. Looks like a beefy whip too, 18-plait overlay and all.
