Again Beauty Whip

As the first picture appeared, I went "Ooooooooh", and then the close up of the handle came up and I went "Ooooooooooooooh!" again!

Wood is just such a wonderful material and you make it look so good.

Beautiful plaiting and woodwork Devin. That ironwood is stunning

Beautiful bullwhip and fantastic woodwork. You make a great job, Devin.

Thanks everyone! I was quite stunned with the results of the Ironwood handle, the colors are quite rich in that specimen.

Somehow I missed this one.

The woody has really warm and earthy colors, that's as good as a combination of wood and plastic could ever get. Just beautiful! Also looking forward to seeing that ironwood Amper Special finished.

Great job man.

Somehow I missed this one also. Another stellar looking whip there Devin! Never turned Desert Ironwood before, looks a little like some of the Cocobolo I've used to which I'm extremely allergic. What kind of SG does that Ironwood have?

Thanks guys!

Guy, the Desert Ironwood isn't bad to turn with carbide. I don't think it is quite as oily as Cocobolo either. If you turn it, be very careful not to burn it during drilling or otherwise, the stench is awful.
From what I can find the Specific gravity ranges from .97 to 1.21 and the Janka hardness is 3200 lbs.

Thanks for the info Devin.......
