Oh! I missed this last year because of university, hopefully I can donate a whip this year (once I'm able to find a job to support myself lol)

Ahh makes sense! I'm sure with a little bit more time you could do it

Mark, I love it! That knot overlay method is so obviously, but I never even thought of doing that! :O Well done, it looks amazing~

Wow 10 years? That's an incredible time, congrats Robby!

Thanks Ethan and Scott! I actually have another inverted set coming up soon lol

Thanks Nadine! And yes, actually, these ones are back plaited to avoid any frayed ends at the tip

Thanks Mark and Nadine! I feel like I've been doing too much inverted work lately :P But it always looks so cooooool!

So, recently I got a bunch of fire whip orders! Firstly, a single 5ft one, shipped to South Australia - https://i.imgur.com/LrGl9TI.jpg Then, a dual 4ft set, which went to one of my fire performer friends in Queensland~ https://i.imgur.com/v3nBA4w.jpg Finally, here's another dual 4ft set, which went...

Here's a new 5.5ft set of 16 plait bullwhips for a performing friend of mine! ^_^ Has a triple tapered lead core, which is great fun to make!

Mark, the whip looks great!

Jyri, that stockwhip looks amazing! How'd you get the english eye to work? Did you plait from the tip? And if so, how did you have a keeper as well?

Mark, can't wait to see the final result~

I've known about this crack before, but have trouble doing it with some of my whips because they're so stiff :O

Jyri, your damn conchos are so beautiful! :O

Thank you very much everyone! ^_^ It's quite humbling to be praised for my patternwork haha Mark - the work shown in WB always is inspiring! Just gotta find your own style and perfect it :) Ron - the whip was actually a bit stiff, and so was a little difficult to crack at first. At the moment, it's ...

Hey everyone, I have two new whips to show! :3 First is a basic 16 plait red and purple whip, a short 5.5ft commission by a performer!~ https://i.imgur.com/Pbi568l.jpg https://i.imgur.com/dX8AzuD.jpg And then here's the personal whip I've been working on! :D 7ft 16 plait whip, with a 32 plait handle...

A TT leather core looks so nice!! :O
