Rachel, it's perfect for Jeff's whip.

Re: For Jeff :)
So glad it made it to Jeff's hands safely! It seems whenever I ship a whip it arrives in a storm 
So here's a couple pictures I said I would post:

Re: For Jeff :)
Oohh! You have much better scenery for taking pictures. And yes, it is storming now so I can't test it out yet...
Here's wishing you find time for the things you want to do, and for the things you need to do.

Thanks Jeff it is pretty here!
Ron yessir it's shiny, just several, several coats of Tung oil rubbed on and 1200 grit sandpaper in between. I tried to get that Lacquer look for it

Re: For Jeff :)
Jeff I will admit I'm really anxious (like a little kid!) to hear what you think about how it cracks. I shifted the weight forward just a bit and I think with the weighted fall it will flow alright.

Re: For Jeff :)
I tried a few light underhand flicks in my front room and it flowed really smoothly and gave a nice satisfying "Pop!" I can't wait till the weather clears up and I can really test it. At first glance the handle seems a bit light compared to the whip. Maybe a bit of lead in the handle would fix that. I won't really know till I can get out and really test it.

Re: For Jeff :)
Jeff I'm glad to hear that! Yes it is definitely a lighter wood, and the thong is a bit heavier than my normal pattern. I look forward to your weather clearing
