Adam Winrich style whip (Page 4 of 5)

Flemming, it's my understanding that waxing a whip makes it a more congruous and responsive whip.

It sort of ties it all together making it one unit in stead of three bellies or such independent of each other.

There is a total difference between before and after and the performance, to me, is much better after. But that's my personal preference.

I actually sort of cringed when the person who I made a set of twin whips for didn't want them waxed.

Jyri, I love the look of this whip!

Jyri, thank you for sharing! Both your whips look amazing (but I especially like the look af the black and white one). I didn't know waxing would make such a difference. (And I also learned my first two whips are quite floppy, compared to yours. It's good to know I need to put more effort in my binding.)

Very effortless looking whipcracking by the way. It looks very natural on you.

Thank you for your opinions on waxing. I makes good sense. I have just not tried to crack the same whip before and after waxing.

Jyri - I don't know if you are training a lot or your whips makes i look like that - but it looks very good when you show us your work

Jyri, that looks splendid!  If you're running low on cord for the handle, would you perhaps think of attaching a (black) wooden handle?

Jyri, the thinner black paracord almost looks like a shadow line of the thicker grey paracord (on the part of the thing just after the handle). I must say, I find your whips very pleasing aesthetically.

Thanks!

I decided to keep it simple and just ended the herringbone and started the handle with new strands.

I made my first tt fall as well.
I'll post finished picks in my thread, i still have to do some rolling and glueing.

This looks splendid, Jyri!  Very 'clean' and elegant! 

Jyri, if you have access to a computer you could resize it to 200 X 200 and then up load it to the WB site.

There are a lot of resizing apps that can be used.
