Lovely, I hope you cracked it in his honor too Gio. Perfect.

Re: This is the Gallery of Giovanni Celeste
Thanks again guys, just to be very clear and avoid any misunderstanding, i made for a customer during Bernie's last days.
I love to think that he drove my hands in plaiting it

Re: This is the Gallery of Giovanni Celeste
That is a beautiful piece, the signature mark at the bottom of the knot is wonderful. Bernie would be proud that this piece was dedicated to him.
Re: This is the Gallery of Giovanni Celeste

Re: This is the Gallery of Giovanni Celeste
Truly beautiful work Gio and a very fitting tribute to Bernie. If there was anything that he was a master of, was higher plait count whips. I hope one day I could do half as fine work as you do.
Here's wishing you find time for the things you want to do, and for the things you need to do.

Re: This is the Gallery of Giovanni Celeste
Bernie is smiling over this piece Gio. That is a magnificent 20 plait. I agree with Pokkis, this is my favorite whip coming from your hands. Thanks for sharing this masterpiece.

Re: This is the Gallery of Giovanni Celeste
Hi Guys,
I have the pleasure to show you some of my works i have done during these last months
Below are some brief descriptions.
Kind Regards
Gio
Classic Working stockwhip 4ft 4plt overlay with plaited belly
8ft two tone bullwhip 16plt with the thong plaited in arrow pattern style
Dark Brown kangaroo Woven belt
Braided in 16strands with double leather keeper and brass buckle.
The Belt is plaited both internally and externally. This characteristic will provide the same tactile sensation and emotion on both sides: Its inside is as beautiful as its outside

Re: This is the Gallery of Giovanni Celeste
Very elegant and beautiful work, Gio! I especially love the sleek grace of the stock whip, and the belt is very cool, stylish indeed!
The center of the heel knot on the nylon bullwhip showing the plaiting underneath-awesome!
Well done, Well done!

Re: This is the Gallery of Giovanni Celeste
I am trying to figure out how you make a simple 4 plait whip look so damn good. Thanks for the pics Gio, they all look classy

Re: This is the Gallery of Giovanni Celeste
My husband would love that belt! It is so pretty. I think out of all of them is your paracord whip that caught my eye. Gio! I can't recall you doing a paracord whip before. Am I right? I LOVE the colors. It is really nice. These are the colors I had envisioned my Victorian-themed whip to be. Isn't it so cool how so many of you make the same thing, but they are so distinct. like paintings? I am, as usual, in awe. Beautiful work Gio.

Really really awesome work Gio, the arrow pattern on the bullwhip caught my eye. The belt looks really cool too.
