Whip Basics. The Forum

Ben, thank you very much!

Mr. Robert, Mark, thank you very much!

Ron, I would agree!

...and cracks sharp! Fast action, but still rolls nicely. The Twisted English Eye and loaded falls help.

Hi Ron! Thank you! I completely missed that info, didn’t I!
It is a 12 plait with a single belly, TT core, 36” length and Twisted English Eye.

Mark, Ben, y’all are sure welcome!

Here is a little tri-colored snake whip I built recently.

Ron, Mr. Robert, you are welcome :) This is a web photo (not mine) that illustrates it a little better. https://i.imgur.com/hoP354d.jpg Mark, Ben, thank you.

Robby, LEGEND , So good to “see” you! I thank you for your words. Life throws many curves in the road, but we keep to the road and keep one step at a time.

Mr. Robert, thank you! I’m so sorry I missed replying to you.

Ron, thank you!

Very, very cool!

I love it, Ross!

A whip to be proud of!!!
