Whip Basics. The Forum

Nicely done Ross. I really like the color combination.
Don't set it down in the woods...... you might never find it again.

Ron

Very good work, Ross!

Ben

Thank you guys I can't wait to try it out! And don't worry Ron i'll keep it in hand in the woods!

Ross you did very nice taper on that!

Jyri thank you I'm not gonna lie I measured an marked out equal distances for the drops, not confident enough to eyeball it just yet

Here is my latest creation, it's inspired by indiana Jones and the kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
7ft 16 plait in coffee brown with black knots and a 3D printed skull concho in the heel.

Great job Ross.
I like the skull concho idea.
You've already said it cracked well. It looks like it too.

Ron

This looks great, Ross! Link?

Wolfgang here's the ebay link https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Indy-Crystal ... 890.l49292

Having never sold a whip before (trading doesn't count) I have no idea what to value my work so I've put it as auction to see if and what people would be willing to pay....... If it sells.... : the next one will be even better as I have a lighter tan colour on order and a Raiders headpiece concho ready to print

Ross, that whip looks very good - i realy like the custom concho.

Ben

Damn, the software just ate my post
Ross that whip looks fantastic! IIRC correctly the starting price was 90 (bargain) did you also post it on Facebook?

Ben thank you, I have a few more concho ideas up my sleeve for later projects

Wolfgang yes I put a starting bid of £90 (never sold a whip before so I'm not a known seller) I haven't put it up for sale on Facebook marketplace because its far more localised but have posted the link to various groups......... Didn't sell on its first run but in sure it will go after Xmas

Ross, why not post in both?
Local? You never know who's interested unless you offer the product.
You might be surprised.

Ron this is very true

So here is the latest creation, its an 8ft 16 plait bull in natural Tan with a Raiders headpiece in the heel 2 plaited bellies and the first waxed whip I'm putting up for sale.






I hope you like it

A very nice whip.
For those looking to buy a whip, this will surely catch their eye with the clean and precise look of it.

Ron
