Thanks Y'all! Ron and Jessie, I agree- this is an area worth exploring. I really dig that one that Sir Roger uses too...
Thanks Sparky! You nailed it, that's how I do all my Academy bullwhips
Thanks Robert- on the dragon fly, the brightest parts are neon green and would fluoresce under a black light... I have a black light at work (used for locating ... uh, "protein based" spills in carpet) I might have to take some in and try to get a good pic sometime.
Thanks Ben!
Thanks Sven! The bright cord is called dragonfly, it's just the name they gave this color, I'd say it's a weave that has neon and two other greens. I did find the cord a bit stiff- has anyone else noticed on multi colored cord a feeling of stiffness? The black is my wavelace.

Oh wow, that's very interesting to hear, and so cool!! I might give that a go one day, plaiting each belly backwards from the tip but each from a different length, would give a very weird stepped whip look :P
Give a man a fire and he's warm for the day. But set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.

I am having a little trouble with the colored paracord "wilting" in the wax bath. I don't want to muck up your thread with a picture, but there seems to be a difference, some is nylon, some is polyester? I am wondering if I got the polyester (core strands were cottony?) I didn't notice on the Holmes whip because the plaiting was tight, but when doing a decorative knot on something else with the leftovers, I waxed and stuff got weird. I'd be happy to PM the result. It's just a bit of a scrunch.
Due to rising costs, dirty deeds are no longer done dirt cheap.

Sparky, my first iterations of my exowhip design had 3 to 4 bellies, with the stairstep taper. It works, and if you hate dropping strands it's pretty awesome But just know that at first, it will have an odd feel- as the whip rolls out, you'll be able to feel each successive belly end as the loop goes through. As the whip breaks in, that will decrease.
