Thanks Caleb.  Yay!  Someone else is calling me Bob.    Right now I am in love with the green oxidation with the shiny copper... but I have dreams of doing my logo in black and a swirly design in green.... That kind of thing my only be for me though.  It would be labor intensive.

Thanks Ben,  I would love to work with you on a whip sometime.  It looks to me like your own whips are really nice.  I like the handle you are working on now.

Really cool, Robby!  I wonder how many others have turned their cracker keeper into a pendant?  It makes me happy to think we are matching.

Thank you for all the kind words, Pokkis.   
I LOVE all things steampunk....  and dress the part quit often.  One day when I have the time I want to make a whip handle with metal gears and wire wrap.  I have some glass dragon eyeballs that I think would look crazy good on a whip like that.

Bob!! I'm making a steampunk bullwhip as we speak. It has a copper T handle with metal gears and, suprise, suprise, wire wrap. I'll get pics up tomorrow...

Folks... You are cool...! 

Robby

Ha! This is awesome! I can't wait to see some steampunk bull whips! I had my own idea's for using wire wrap handle. I work a lot with swords and it is a common handle technique. I was thinking of modeling a whip handle after an 18th century small sword. Not sure how I would do the guard…. We shall see!

Carl- Steam punk is a Mix of Modern and Victorian/edwardian styling. If that era had never ended and the steam engine was our primary power…. Lots of gadgets and trinkets and leather. Top hats with monocles but your top hat is actually a clock and your sword cain has a compass in it that when removed becomes the key to your airship… Steam punk.

Thanks, Rhett.  I'm not sure how I missed your comment. 

I just wanted to share this picture.  Not because it is the greatest whip but because of how perfectly it matches my lilacs. 

Its a 6 foot, 12 plait Sonic alignment whip.  I made it slightly heavier than normal and I think that I need to adjust the formula just a bit because I have a gap in one of my drops.  Anyway, it is pretty and makes me happy.

That is a lovely whip, and a well-composed picture

Nice whip Bobbi, I always like a birdseye plait. Jealous of the Lilacs though, the grass is just barely green, and we went from mid 60's back down into the 20s with some snow.
