I am suitably chastised Robby

Rachel, that's great! In the photo it looks black but I can well imagine the colors!

Thanks y'all! A lot of that is that I allow a more realistic time in my order book for how long it's going to take to finish, and I leave blank spots when I know I'm going to busy with art or family stuff, and for experimenting with new designs. For every custom order I allow one month on my schedul...

Thanks so much Nadine, Rachel, Robert, Wolfgang, Robby, and Georg! Robert, would you believe that is actually crimson? Partly I was surprised when I saw the crimson color, and partly I think it's a case of digital color warping. In person it looks like it has a lot of gray in it. Wolfgang, a stockwh...

Thanks Jyri and Flemming! And thanks for setting up the new gallery format Robby! Scott, I'm delighted :) And I'm proud that you will be cracking and enjoying this whip, and when he's a little bigger maybe you'll share it with Little Man :) Thanks Ron! Thanks Mark, I used to play Qbert when I was ju...

Sorry Robby! Here we are: This is a stockwhip for Scott, and it features the "Qbert" pattern on the handle: https://i.imgur.com/FQyO5Mh.jpg I think this took somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 tries to get it right. It started out really bad, and got a little better each time. https://i.i...

I do apologize that it's been this long since I posted here, this was the first time I've tried a pattern like this and it took me forever to get it right. I'm pretty sure Sir Roger did one of these on a bull handle a while back, this one is for Scott. I have more whips to post, but I was waiting fo...
