I just send another order on it's way. Hopefuly it will arrive at it's destination before Xmas.
The customer wanted to have a very lightweighted black 6 footer with an 6 point Enlish Eye and an 16 plait overlay (2 Bellies).
Anohter guideline was that the Heel Knot should have a diameter of 3 cm (=1,18 inches), a Herringbone pattern on the entire whip and no transition Knot (Hidden Handle Bullwhip).
All the best

Very nice work, Ben.
I fluctuate between liking thin light-weight whips and heavier ones. Depends on the mood I'm in and how sore my wrists are. I am also finding, though that in either form, I've come to like whips that are a little weighted towards the heel, though. Seems to make it easier for me to control.
