Whip Basics. The Forum

Hello All,
i'm glad to show you this new whip customed whip made for American customer.
The whip is 8' long 16 plt with 8 plt point and 8 plt wrist loop and standard 8'' handle.
The base project was the classic 16 plt bullwhip David Morgan style with the first 7'' of the thong plaited in 8-seam braid.
The customer request was:
To have a shorten grip look to 4 inches.
To have the Z engraved on the butt fondation
Here the whip, I hope you like it

Very nice, Giovanni.

Perfection, Gio!" Perfection!

(Isn't an 8-plait point rather unusual?)

Thanks, Robert, not unusual on a 16plt

That was my first thought too. Mind you, I expect the cords are a lot more narrow at the tip than paracord allowing for more strands.

It looks amazing Gio!

Many thanks Jyri glad you like it.
Regarding the plaited point on a 12 or 16 plait whips usually tends to be the half of the overlay.
There is a little difference between 12 plt and 16 or more plaited whip.
12 plt whips are usually used as working whips, do the facts the strands at the end of the whips are much wider.
16 plt whips or more higther are used not just for a working whips but for accuracy targets or collecting..

Very beautiful, Mr. Robert said it best: "Perfection!"
The whole whip compliments the fantastic heel knot.
Excellent work, Gio!

Me and the knots say thank you Rachel!!!

Gio, that is a very nice whip indeed! Is the logo new, or have I just missed it before now? Either way, I like it.

Wow, excellent work Gio!
The whip looks so elegant, I love it.

All the best
Mario

Many thanks Scott and Mario, very glad you like it!!
Re. The Z logo yes is new, I never done before.

Now that's really good

TWENTY YEARS WITH YOU
Hello Guys,
I've just created and posted on Fb a short video.
This video tells my first twenty years of plaiting from the first cut to nowadays.
You can see pics and video of my works not only whips but also accessories such as bags, belts, walking sticks, bracelets and many more.

First of all I’d like to thank my friend Robert Amper and Whip Basics.
Thanks Robert for trusting me.
I’d like to deeply thank everyone who has trusted me from the beginning and all those who will continue to trust me because it has helped me so much and will continue to help my professional growth and skills.
I hope you like it.

Thanks for watching
Giovanni Celeste
