This is the Gallery of "Gator Whips" - Roy Partin

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".

Jesse, it does make the perfect prop to display his fine work.
Roy makes functional tools, but the craftsmanship makes it look elegant.

That's a beautiful whip Mr. Partin!
I'm pretty sure that many people at the ABBA convention auction will bid in order to win after seeing your splendid work!

All the best

Quality sells itself. Well done.
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.

This special whip is going to a cousin in Florida. It is 12 feet 16 plait in gold and chocolate. I have been saving that piece of Macassar Ebony wood for a special build like this one.Image

Roy, that is super cool- everything fits really well together. The wax goes really well with the gold lace!
