I have a sneaking suspicion that I may know which whip that will become!

Thanks, Ben!!! I look forward to seeing the Bull grow too. Whips are really so close to being a living thing.

Alright, core is epoxied and bound on and ready for the belly.

Twisted Taper core, the whole taper and balance of the whip is greatly influenced by this right here.

Rolled and bound, ready for the belly.

Just a simple demonstration of the solid base a Twisted Taper core provides. It drives the movement of the whole whip.

Rachel, that looks super.
Such a good base for the following bellies and overlay.

Rachel, that willows superb! Huh? Damn autocorrect... What I meant to say was that looks superb - I have no idea how that got changed to willows.

Rachel, the core of the mini bull looks superb!
The pictures show very clear how tight your binding is - not just by looking at that wonderful curve but also by comparing the diameter of TT core before and after the binding - excellent work!
All the best

Thanks, Scott! Good and solid as we can make it in the transition, I hope-
Bendy like willow is good...

Autocorrectosarus strikes again!
Ben, thank you very much
