Wow Simon,my mind is blown!! I'd be afraid to even touch that whip you made for the Royal Easter show. 48plait makes my head hurt just thinking about it! How many hours did it require for this piece of ART? Thanks Robby and Terry for posting pics of these treasures.
Simon you're in a different league and your reputation is well deserved.

Thanks Guy.
Really there is a LOT of good plaiters in this country and as a lot are older and don't use technology you don't hear a lot about them. However, I for one, have been inspired by a lot of their work. Thanks for your kind word though, but I still have a lot to learn and only wish I had more time to do more of this finer work. Spent probably around 50 hours on that one. Thanks to you to Roger....must have missed your reply before sorry.

Just beautiful! There are even some patterns on the handle I haven't seen anywhere else.
I can't even begin to imagine how much skill and patience it takes to build something like this. The knots alone are so awesome that I would give one of my kidneys to do those.
Awesome work, Simon. As always
