nice work, Ross.

Holy Cow! Hayes, that is fantastic. Great job.

Sweet!

Hayes, YOu've convinced me, I'll give it a try.

More beautiful work. I have one of his whips with the Anchor Seal, but I don't think it was polished. The whip has a very nice feel to it and flows nicely. It's become one of two whips I carry in my truck to play with whenever th mood strikes. The other is one of the first stockwhips I made, that is...

Robert, the video was recorded on a Gopro. Those little cameras are really nice but they all seem to have a bit of a fisheye effect, so I think that's why it looks longer. Plus, it has a 30-inch fall.

I meant to post this yesterday.

Thanks, Hayes.

Thank you very much, Ron.

This is a 16-plait, 7.5-ft, kangaroo hide bullwhip, 8-inch handle, two plaited bellies, and two kipskin bolsters. It has a 30-inch latigo fall and a B5 5cracker The heel foundation is lead. The heel knot is a 7x6 doubled THK and the transition knot is a single pass 7x6 THK. https://i.imgur.com/zzJRD...

Beautiful whip, Hayes. Your handles are fantastic.

Nice work, Ross.

Nice whip, Ross.

Very nice, Hayes.

What? No Photos! I look forward to seeing it, Hayes.

Beautiful work, Rachel.

Thank you, Ross and Hayes.

While I was recording video for the big snake whip this morning I also shot a little of this whip.
