Hey guys,
I have given the whip a thorough test cracking. And it seems that the fiberglass handle has cracked down towards where it gets very thin(at the tip in can fit inside a four plait). So I plan on cutting the thong off and putting it in a wood handle. And I guess I can finish off the remainder of the old handle and include it as a stick of death. :p

Hey guys!
So I got some wood handled whips finished.
The first one uses the thong from whip #11 which two big problems: an extremely tight keeper, and the fiberglass rod that slipped up towards the keeper leaving the heel knot without anything under it.
And I finally was able to make a handle for whip #13:
This handle I just coated with poly. No stain this time. The cup did turn out a bit thick :p
