Whip #25 I finally finished this yesterday, it a 7ft 16 plait Bullwhip in coyote brown with chocolate brown accents, a mahogany handle (repurposed an old prison officers baton) & a copper ferrule. This whip has two plaited bellies and Ron she cracks like a dream

Ben thank you, I was concerned that the handle might cause issues but it it actually a dream to crack and do various toss and spin tricks.... However if it goes wrong you find yourself moving very quickly to avoid the lump of mahogany coming at you! :

Whip #26
8ft 16 plait Bullwhip with a 10" handle but transition knot at 8" 2ft fall and a metal 'headpiece to the staff of Ra' concho
This whip has been an experiment to try and get a more natural look to do the original Raider justice. I took some tan paracord and dyed it in a diluted wood stain solution (mahogany) with quite impressive results! I have also test dyed some strands in a Teak solution today which gives a more orangey colour. This whip will be exclusively advertised in the Indy groups for the first few weeks and will be a very limited run (I don't want to make a habit of dying my own cord :)
