I don‘t know why, but slowly I really start to like those beefy, sturdy and impressive cow whips. I like the feeling they roll out. Once you told it where to go it starts its journey and goes exactly where it should be. Slowly, mighty and powerful.
Just one question. You wrote that the sign is a Buckhorn Bar. It seems that I‘m the only one who has no idea what that means - please, what is a Buckhorn Bar?

Thank you, Mark. Sometimes I understand the words but I don‘t get the meaning. I heard the word „feisty“. No idea. In Germany we have a word, that is „feist“. I thought it is the same. Unfortunately feist in german means fat... You can probably imagine, what misunderstandings those „things“ caused over the years...

Robby, I fell in love with Roy's work at once, as soon as you posted your review of his 10-foot cow whip. As you know, I've now got one of these for myself. I think it's great! It just seems to sing of the Old West!Robby Amper wrote:I don‘t know why, but slowly I really start to like those beefy, sturdy and impressive cow whips. I like the feeling they roll out.

You've probably discovered by now, but 'feisty' means 'high spirited', 'fiery'.

Every year I get the honor of making a custom whip for a rodeo queen. It's called the Doug Partin Spirit Award. It is named after my father's cousin whom was largely involved in the rodeo. This is one is 8 feet 16 plait in red and teal with a Jatoba handle. The teal cord turned almost black in the wax pot, but I was relieved that it lightened up with a few cracks.
He died for me, I'll live for him
