Whip Basics. The Forum

Rachel you made a beautiful stockwhip. Wood makes anything look better. I can't wait to see the video once our WIFI is up and running. Great pictures Robby, thanks

Roy, thank you very much, I really do appreciate it!

Wow, I am in love with this whip. A heavy working stockwhip with a wood handle is unheard of. The heavy working Australian redhide stockwhips cannot compare to the beauty and performance of this masterpiece. Rachel you have raised the bar in the function and fashion categories. This is a beast that a day working cowboy could depend on for many years without worry. Thank you mam for mentioning Whip Nation on the certificate. I am proud to call you my best customer.
Robby, this is my new favorite video review. The music and photography went together like peas and carrots. I love watching a heavy whip flow from your hands like an elegant dance. Thank you sir for another wonderful review

I thank you for your kind words, Roy. Especially when it comes from you - because you are a working cowboy yourself and you know what's real and useful and what is not. To make the video was a pleasure for me. But when it came to demonstrating the whip - I just did what the whip told me. It's a very tough and heavy one. But an excellent example of real craftsmanship!

Again - thank you, Sir.

Robby

Roy, thank you very, very much. Robby is correct- especially when it comes from you, both as a real working cowboy and as the top cow whip maker in the world.... That really means a lot to me personally, as I know your quality and level of perfectionism in your own work is extremely high.
I'm proud to be called your best customer!
I'm proud also to have had the opportunity for this whip to be introduced by Robby, as well. He makes the whip dance, just as you say.
Something I'm extremely thankful for, both to you Roy, and all of WB-
All the things I've had the opportunity to learn, I've had the opportunity to learn from some of the very best whipmakers in the world.

Here the progress on the current Amper Style continues!

Again, your personal hand made touch is super.
The plaiting on the transition area is so classy.
Are you staining the handle or letting hand oil do it?

Ron

It won't be stained, just tung oil.
Thanks Ron

So pretty WS! I love these.

You will need more certificates...

Robby

Yes, gotta love that plaiting. Ron has it with the word 'classy'. A simple handle, one colour thong, short section of understated, yet striking pattern work. This is subtle, but with class. It's lovely, Rachel.

WS, thanks!

Robby I appreciate it, I better stock up then.... That is a high compliment, thank you very much.

Sir Roger, thank you very much indeed

That is wonderful Rachel. Is that purple heart wood? I think tung oil is just right:)

Thanks, Tyler! Yessir that's purpleheart, great eye! Yes the tung oil protects but really makes that grain pop!

Rachel, I love the single coloured birds eye! Very nicely done, interesting to see so much fancy plait on a moving part of the whip~

Rachel, once again this is superb! The satisfaction you must get from making these is palpable. The very finest craftsmanship!

Brandon, thanks!

Mr. Robert, thank very much, I certainly appreciate it

Outstanding work Rachel!

I've seen an Amper Style in real life and it blew my mind. I'm 100% sure that whoever will recive this whip will be very, very happy!

All the best
Ben

Ben, thank you very much

Hi Rachel i saw closely the pics of the handle construction.
I think you put much effort to give a nice shape.
Great work Congrats!!!
