You're very welcome Robert,
this has been a very special experience for me, and I'm very pleased at how things turned out.

That is a sweet handle! The honeycomb pattern sits nicely between the bird's eye.

The whip is shipped at last.
My apologies again for the delay Robert.
I've messaged you the tracking details, should be with you tomorrow.

The whip is here! Photos and a report will follow within a day or so, when I've had a chance to put it through its paces - but I think it's terrific! Thanks so much to both Fritz and Roy! :)

Thanks, Rachel. And my hand has almost healed enough to hold it firmly! :)

Mr. Robert, I'm so very glad to hear that!!!! I bet your healing hand is like the trigger finger of the fastest draw in the West- itching to practice!

Rachel, you've got it in one! Itching is exactly the word! :)

That's a good word- it usually means healing! Really glad to hear it, Mr. Robert :)

Awesome, now you can work that itch. ;)
Glad it got there without any further delays.
Look forward to hearing what you think.

Was that the last whip? Are there any more outstanding?

Fritz, I'd hoped to give your whip a good workout yesterday, but found that my hand hasn't quite healed enough to hold it properly. Another week or so, and I should be able to get cracking. (It's only just over four weeks since the surgery.) As soon as I can grip it firmly, nothing will stop me! Meanwhile, I can admire it constantly!

Don't stress the injury too much, give it time, ........... or change hands ;)

'Change hands,' you suggest. That seems obvious, of course - but, due to severe arthritis in my left shoulder, I've not been able to crack a whip left-handed for about fifteen years. Sigh! Still, for someone who's wearing out in all sorts of ways, I think I'm doing remarkably well. :)

No need to rush it and undo your progress Mr Robert. That whip will still be there when you are completely healed.

Fritz and Roy are right, not much sense in giving your hand too much stress and risk undoing weeks of healing. The whip is not going anywhere :)

Thanks, guys! You're right, of course - and I must squash my impatience! :)

I think, the last one is the pipe whip from Tyler which goes to Fritz. But then it should be done. Robert Wurth was obviously that much interested in the whip he received from Robert Gage that he even did not mention it. Sorry. Had to say that.
