Whip Basics. The Forum

Lovely, I hope you cracked it in his honor too Gio. Perfect.

Thank you so much guys for your kind words!!!!
I'm sure that Bernie would be proud of this

A truly beautiful whip, made with a beautiful purpose in mind Congratulations, Gio!

Thanks again guys, just to be very clear and avoid any misunderstanding, i made for a customer during Bernie's last days.
I love to think that he drove my hands in plaiting it

That is a beautiful piece, the signature mark at the bottom of the knot is wonderful. Bernie would be proud that this piece was dedicated to him.

That is a fine looking whip. Its nice that you dedicated it to Bernie.

Truly beautiful work Gio and a very fitting tribute to Bernie. If there was anything that he was a master of, was higher plait count whips. I hope one day I could do half as fine work as you do.

A beautiful tribute to a true craftsman. Wonderful work Gio. I hope one day to order such a piece from you.

Bernie is smiling over this piece Gio. That is a magnificent 20 plait. I agree with Pokkis, this is my favorite whip coming from your hands. Thanks for sharing this masterpiece.

Thanks indeed guys!!! I can see the Bernie's smile

Hi Guys,
I have the pleasure to show you some of my works i have done during these last months
Below are some brief descriptions.
Kind Regards
Gio

Classic Working stockwhip 4ft 4plt overlay with plaited belly





8ft two tone bullwhip 16plt with the thong plaited in arrow pattern style








Dark Brown kangaroo Woven belt
Braided in 16strands with double leather keeper and brass buckle.
The Belt is plaited both internally and externally. This characteristic will provide the same tactile sensation and emotion on both sides: Its inside is as beautiful as its outside

Very elegant and beautiful work, Gio! I especially love the sleek grace of the stock whip, and the belt is very cool, stylish indeed!
The center of the heel knot on the nylon bullwhip showing the plaiting underneath-awesome!
Well done, Well done!

Thank you so much dear Rachel,for your kind words, you are always so polite and punctual.
re.butt of nylon whip I thought of putting a small braid to keep the two tone color pattern

Gio, I never knew you also worked in nylon.
Great job.

Ron

Thank you Ron, sometimes happens :-)
I like so much make nylon whips and i respect all the nylon whipmakers

I am trying to figure out how you make a simple 4 plait whip look so damn good. Thanks for the pics Gio, they all look classy

:-) Thank you Roy a good camera i suppose :-)

It really adds that extra artistic flair, really great!

My husband would love that belt! It is so pretty. I think out of all of them is your paracord whip that caught my eye. Gio! I can't recall you doing a paracord whip before. Am I right? I LOVE the colors. It is really nice. These are the colors I had envisioned my Victorian-themed whip to be. Isn't it so cool how so many of you make the same thing, but they are so distinct. like paintings? I am, as usual, in awe. Beautiful work Gio.

Really really awesome work Gio, the arrow pattern on the bullwhip caught my eye. The belt looks really cool too.
