I've never handled stock whip but that does look very nice, Jyri.

Very nice Jyri! If you are looking for a slower roll-out, like Mr. Robert says, you might try doing a sixteen plait thong and a bit heavier handle. The Rachel Stock prototype I have for example is by no means a fast stockwhip, it rolls out nice and slow.

Really good job Jyri.

Thanks!
16plait thong would be very heavy i think.
This one has 8plat belly and 10 plat overlay.
When i waxed it it became a bit nose heavy but not too much i think as it's not putting too much preasure to my wrist.

I have been thinking about whip types and snakes and bulls are the ones i like more.
I tought i could make some kind of hybrid between them. 3 bellyes and short handle with long stiff transition area.

I never make a stock until now but I think yours rolls out good. Like you say, maybe it's getting better when it's waxed.

That looks great, Jyri.
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.

Jyri, that stockwhip looks amazing! How'd you get the english eye to work? Did you plait from the tip? And if so, how did you have a keeper as well? :)

Thank you!
I plaited first belly(8plat) with 4 strand keeper and the overlay from the tip. I binded the overlay just before the keeper.
If i would do another one i would make lighter core and give it some swell after the keeper. It would help to hide the swell from binding the overlay.
Other than that quite happy with it, maybe battlecord keepers for next one.

Whip number 23: 10ft bullwhip with 2 plaited bellyes
This one really fought me in every step. I still have to take it to sauna with me to get rid of that flaking.

Jyri, I really like the sleek look of it.
It looks like a good combination of being light and slow at the same time.
How does it crack?

Transition could be longer but whip this long is never going to be fast. With flicks you swing it and wait and wait :D

It really flows Jyri.
I like the way it rolls out in the Amper roll out test. I would give it a 9 on the Amperage scale.
Good job.

Excellent job, Jyri!, the gaucho plait on the handle looks great. The whip rolls and cracks beautifully. i'm still amazed that you can crack it on that ice. I'd be flat on my ass after the first one.
