The "Making of" Gallery - Rachel McCollough

This new Gallery replaces the former "Masters Gallery", which will work from now on as pure archive. Here you will find not only the work and art from folks who sell whips, but also from folks, who create their whips out of pure passion. And we have an additional gallery. It is called "The Gallery - Making of".

Whipmaking should be a philosophical movement on it's own. :)

I'll give it a try, Dad, but it's going to be really hard...kind of like trying to saw something in half using a banana.

Thank y’all, very much!

Lots of hours away from the house and whips lately, though I did sneak in enough time for waxing that bullwhip and a little 6’ 14 plait single belly cow whip that has been sitting lonely wating for a handle for some time.
