Whips by Ethan Mitchell
Hey Guys,
Here are pictures of most of the whips I have made to date.
#1
3' Snakewhip
#2
4' Snakewhip
#3
2.5' Bullwhip
I just found it. I’ll get some pictures of it up soon.
#4
4' 12 plait Snakewhip with wire/BB core. Sorry, I don't have and pictures from before I tore it apart. This is the first whip I made with a decent transition, but that is only due to the wire I used for the first foot and a half or so, not to any binding. I actually found that I used a double drop going from 12 to 10 on this whip, I don't remember doing that at all.
#5
8' 12 plait Stockwhip with BB load and steel handle core(way too heavy).
#6
2.5' Bullwhip with first attempt at an english eye.
#7
4' 18 plait Snake whip. I gave this one away to an old friend. This one had bolsters made of athletic tape, as well as, my early thick binding.

Hey guys! Here are a few pictures of another stockwhip I am working on:
I started with an un-tapered two strand twist core, with the goal of creating a smaller core for the 12 plait overlay which I plan to fancy plait, that way it will be easier to avoid gaps. The core is bound with my new serving tool.
The eight plait belly. I still have a hard time with the transition from plait to twist. Not so much the set up, but keeping even tension on all strands.
Belly rolled & bound by hand. I am not at all used to the server yet.
I had to do a bid of binding halfway along the twist because I didn't keep even tension in that spot
This is going to be a 6' by the way.

So here are a few sneak peaks of the overlay:
The english eye turned out a little bit oversized , and it still needs a bit of serving at the join. The keeper end needs the overlay and then a knot to cover the "switch". After being attached to the handle keeper of course! And after that it will need waxing before it is complete.

Opps! I meant to show a different picture for the second one:
What I did here is turn one set of opposing seams into checkerboard and left the other two as they were. Like this:
(Though I omitted the ring from the pattern as it caused too much twist in my seam.)
Here are the other two patterns I used:
Basic eight plait checkerboard.
