The "Making of" Gallery - Giovanni Celeste

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".

Apparently, Rachel really likes that heel knot! ;)
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.

Gio, this looks like perfection. The darker transition knot catches the eye, and the heel knot looks to be perfectly sized and shaped for the hand. Well done sir

Gorgeous whip, Gio. I really like the colors and the knots are perfect. What is a double core?
