Re: Chris Castle
Chris,
It's wonderful to see pictures of each stage of the process so far. I also agree that the colors selected are spot on.
Respectfully,

Another update - I'm behind where I would prefer to be, but not in too bad shape overall...
Here is the set all cut out and ready to go with the belly and scissors for scale (and since people seem to like scissors )
And the 10-plait belly post-roll but pre-bind...Not great lighting, I'm not much of a photographer....
Again, not great lighting, just trying to give a sense of the colors and finish....
Next Steps will be a bit more binding and also to cut out the overlay set....
That's developing nicely, Chris!
The taper looks excellent as well as the strands and plait. Nice job Chris
Really looking nice! Someone will be a lucky lucky person!!!
It's coming right along, nice taper.
Looking good Chris! As Ron and Roy noted, the taper looks splendid.
so here is the overlay set cut out, tapered, and beveled. 12-plait, two-tone.
As the deadline is quickly approaching, I am about 4ft through the 6ft. overall length and currently working on my 8-plait. I'll finish the overlay in 6-plait (hopefully).
I'm pleased with how it is looking, and am capturing some images along the way. However, I don't plan to post many other images until the recipient receives it! I figure it is more fun for all that way (at least, those of us who like surprises!)

Chris that is looking super!
Oh Chris that's gonna be awesome! Beautiful colors, too!!! This is the kind of surprise you'd be crazy not to like!
Looks great. Unfortunately, that's all that I can say about leather whips due to lack of experience.
From one leatherworker to another - Really Nice Work! Somebody is going to be lucky!
Yep, there's one luck swapper right there. That's looking great.
Isn't that a beautiful sight right there? It's both a blessing and a curse to know who will be getting this, but someone will surely be a happy whipper before New Year
Can't wait to see this finished and in flight.

Can't wait to see this finished and in flight.
Me, too!
No matter who receives what, it's such fun and a real pleasure to watch these whips from core to "flight", truly awesome!
Very nice work, again, Chris!
Well said, Rachel!
I can imagine everyone wearing their cool faces and just saying "looks good, whoever gets it will be one lucky whipper" on every swap thread while secretly chewing their fingernails in excitement
Come on, that's what all but three of the participants are doing right now, just admit it
- Pokkis
So, Pokkis, you are blessed and cursed all at once! You know all the secrets!
So true, Rachel. But I'll just share some secrets and say that this whip will not be sent to me, Taylor or Chris. Late spoiler alert here. Hope I didn't ruin it for everyone as there's only three possible continents it could possibly end up now. Feel free to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKMNPQ35OUc
Ain't I a stinker?
