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".

The question is never if it rolls. Only how.

Never if, but how! This is so true, as spoken by Legend ;) The Robby Rollout test never lies!

Thank you, Ben!

Terrific, Rachel! And I, too, think those belly colours would make a great overlay....

Thank you, WS! Though I strongly disagree on the Whippiest part!!!! Just different, not better!!! You got it above all. Have you seen those art handles by the other Whippy Sister? Nobody else does that.

Beautiful work, Rachel. I especially like how the handle turned out.
I'll give it a try, Dad, but it's going to be really hard...kind of like trying to saw something in half using a banana.

Awesome handle Rachel. It might be an illusion but it looks a little beefier than past handles.
Wax doesn't like the cold does it.
It looks like another superb Wolf Creek whip.
Great job. :)

It's ok if you disagree with me.

Superb, Rachel! (And I like the slightly beefier looking handle a lot....)

Thank you Ron, you are correct on wax and cold not getting along! Yessir the handle is beefier; this whip is a little heavier.

Mr. Robert, I like the beefier handle as well!
Thank you!

Jyri, thank you!

Outstanding work, Rachel!
The beefier handle looks very, very stylish and the grain of the wood is very, very beautiful!

All the best

Awesome job Rachel. That is my idea of the perfect cowboy’s working whip. It’s built to stand up to abuse
