This is the Gallery of "Wolf Creek Whips" - Rachel McCollough

This new Gallery replaces the former "Masters Gallery", which will work from now on as pure archive. Here you will find not only the work and art from folks who sell whips, but also from folks, who create their whips out of pure passion. And we have an additional gallery. It is called "The Gallery - Making of".

Thanks, Tyler-

Rachel, another fine looking whip.
Is the white stuff wax?

Ron
It's ok if you disagree with me.
I can't force you to be right.

Yessir it's wax, it was bit cool outside this morning. At 250, it'll still cool quick on the thinner parts.

Looking great Rachel, the nice simple combination of yellow wood and a brown thong.

If you look at it from a distance, the chocolate brown cord actually makes it look like it's made of leather

Thank you, Philbert, I appreciate it,
Oliver, thank you! Mr. Robert, I thank you too, 'Businesslike' is exactly as it is intended, indeed!

It was wanted for round pen work with horses, as well as cattle in the open.

Beautiful as usual. I like the size of that 14 plait. It looks a tad more shoulder friendly than a 16 plait and easier cracking than a light weight 12 plait.

Thank you Erik and Roy!

Roy you hit the nail on the head, it (to the best of my knowledge) appears tip heavy enough still to do well in most weather but as you say not so tough on the shoulder as it would get to be in a round pen.
