Little cow

[Roy Partin]

This little guy is being raffled off this weekend at the annual Chisolm Trails Chuckwagon cook off. I usually don't get many opportunities to build sporty shorties so I jumped on it this time. Its five feet 12 plait in black/white. Core is 18" of BB's. I tried something different by ending in a 4 point fall hitch with a 15" twisted fall. I am very happy with the results.

Nice pattern work, looks like a fast whip too.
I'd certainly buy a raffle ticket or two for a chance to win it.

[Jessie Edwards]

Pretty, Roy! I like the sporty shorties

[Ron May]

I like the checker flag design towards the top.
It fits the fast sporty properties of the whip.
Some one is going to be a very lucky winner !

Now, see, I wish I could get my 8-6-4 drops to look like that. There's always a little kink where each drop occurs. Nothing like that anywhere on your whips. So jealous.

This thing looks great. I've never done a black and white whip before. Whomever gets this one will be a happy camper for sure.

[Jeff Roseborough]

Very nice. Somebody will be real happy to get this whip!

[Rachel McCollough]

Golly, Roy, that is absolutely gorgeous!!!! You set the bar higher each time!!!! So smooth taper and plaiting, and fancy pattern work in the thong... That is too cool. Wow.

[Rachel McCollough]

And I sure like that twisted fall to go on a fall hitch. Perfect.

[Paul Slater]

That looks superb Roy.
Really quite special looking in those colours.
The twisted fall is something I am going to have to look into as that looks so different too.

[Chris Castle]

Very nice! Love the interspersed patterns.

Thank you all very much for the compliments. Fritz it sure is speedy. I had fun testing it out in the living room after Lindsay left this morning.

It just looks so clean and crisp and quick like a fencing sabre. Not gonna lie though, I kept thinking that maybe there was an actual small cow in one of the pictures and I'd missed it.

[David Cross]

Smart man, Roy. You don't want her to catch you whipping indoors. ^_~

[Roy Partin]

David I am afraid she might have hidden cameras that watch me break her rules. Its fun to be bad though

[David Cross]

Rock on, brother. Just...don't break anything.

[Craig Frank]

Very good looking whip. I've tried mixing up the plaiting pattern mid stream, but mine didn't look nearly as smooth as yours.

[Bobbi Holyoak]

Very good looking whip.

[Robert Gage]

That's a really fun-looking whip, Roy! But a 5-footer indoors? You must have a bigger living room that I do!

[Roy Partin]

Thanks Craig, Bobbi and Mr Robert. Mr Robert we have high ceilings but I usually end up smacking the ceiling fan at least once when I am breaking Lindsay's "no cracking in the house" rules.

Haha! Efren, perhaps this could be a new model for me. The little whip for little cows
