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

Thank you Ron!
I think there is Zorro's whip as many as the movies..
Differently from Indy whip where the whips have a specific design and shape, there isn't a typical Zorro whip.
From the early movement you can see a long black whip sometimes a bull whip, sometime a target Whip and at least a stock whip.
For these reasons, I think that the Zorro whip can be always interpreted by each Whipmaker in different ways.

Not my pics and the real objects shooted
You can guarantee as owner of my whips
Jocking a part Thanks Flamming I understood what you try from say...
I use my mobile for shooting the pics..
I try to photograph the objects in many and different corners to the purpose to give the maximum number of information in terms of parameters of the object...
For this reason I prefer shooting and posting more pics...
It will be more easy to me taking a singol pics and post it...
In this way I would have a gain in terms of time but I would lost in terms of information...
Anyway way nothing pics can compare the sensation of a real objects in your hands...

Thanks Jyri, exatly!
i start with a nail about 7mm wide over a smal core, over the real core, over the first 4 plaited belly with a joke, over the first bolster that starts about at 2cm from the end of the handle.
Over the first bolster there is a 4 plaited belly with a joke, over the second belly there is the second bolster BUT this time the bolster starts from the butt of the handle.
