The "Making of" Gallery - Rachel McCollough
In this thread, Rachel will post her making of pictures. The finished whip will be presented in the Makers and Masters Gallery. If you have questions on materials, braiding, patterns and what ever... Post it here!. If you like to comment on a finished whip... Post it here. The Galleries will be only what they're called - Galleries.
When you are exited on something - post it here. If you like to say how much you like something - or not - post it here. All comments which are made in the respective gallery will be simply deleted. The galleries will be like an exhibition. The whip, the art, the name of the whip. Not more. If you want to say something... You know where to post, right?
Thank you for your cooperation!

That white thong is striking. I'm afraid that I would never be able to crack it for fear of staining it and ruining the look. I think that I am quickly becoming a fan of wood handled whips. Very nicely done, Rachel!
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.

Thank you Jesse, I look forward to seeing what you do!
Jyri, thanks!
Mark, thank you very much! I love the pattern in that handle, really nice grain.
Mr. Robert, indeed not an inside whip! Definitely outdoors! Thank you
Christopher, thank you; yes I shape all of my handles by hand with no lathe. I don't yet own a lathe.

Inch by inch.
Rachel, it's my thought that you should never do your handles with a lathe.
You are known for hand forming the handles and that makes you and your handles special.
With a lathe they could be made faster and easier, but then they would be common.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with using one because you could put a special turn on the handles to make them unique, but easily done by others, by hand shaping it makes yours special, more personal.

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

Well I think I will leave any purchase of a lathe in Lonnie's territory then! Hes mentioned making duck calls from some of the cut offs I have.
I've thought about purchasing a lathe, but procrastinated biting the bullet. I think I shall put those funds toward leather tools instead.
I will indeed maintain no lathe at all, all handmade.
Thank y'all, I appreciate it; now I need to look at bevelers
