Jesse, you wouldn't be stepping on my toes after all, somebody had the idea to try paracord to make a whip first, right? I think cometition helps everyone improve, and besides, if more people start using wavelace maybe we can get it in more colors. (I want a darker brown!) I can send you samples if you like.

Excellent work Tyler !!!
I Remeber that Mr. Walker mentioned quiet often that he wanted to have a bullwhip with an English eye and I can imagine how exiceted he will be to recive this masterpiece !!!
I'm also amazed by all of the other whips that you have posted - the Night Sky in post #414 caught my eye in particular - the beautiful engraving on the handle combined with the perfect plaiting and with the incredibly stylish heel knob are mind-blowing !!!
All the best

That's a good looking whip right there. It's like painting with paracord. It looks like a piece of art, a woven piece which tells something of the maker.
I also like the english eye, it makes changing the fall much easier.
Is the fall actually a piece of paracord fed into itself? If so, how are you able to attach the cracker that way?
I have made a fall once which was fed into itself all the way, but it became too thick, too rigid to properly attach a cracker.
Just wondering, not critizising.

Thanks Craig! It really does help with stifness, the end of the handle is right where the gv service meets the green and silver plaiting. You can always find the handle length on my exowhips that way.
Thanks Sven! The fall is fed into itself, but first I pull half of the filling out. Then you feed the filled half into the empty half, and also at the end the inner layer stops a few inches away from the tip so it's easier to tie the cracker on.

Thanks Y'all! Matt, that's the exposed core I do on my Academy line. They're designed to work well on a budget for students and beginners, or just to have a workhorse simple whip compared to my others. It also kind of fits in with my "exo" theme.
