Whip #40 (there was a budget I didn't photograph) is certainly a milestone whip! This beast is 20ft long with a 4ft tapered fall, a 13" handle brass ferrule, 3 bellies and a 16 plait overlay.
This was a custom whip for Pete Gamble from 'A Handful of Hats' and he is very happy with the final product (as an I )
I took it out for a few test cracks before I posted it and it cracks beautifully, it is also the loudest whip I've ever cracked from a simple sidearm crack!

I must admit I wouldn't have chosen those colours for myself either :
When I asked what colours he just said nothing dark like black etc as it needs to stand out on stage.........I think I met his requirements perfectly with the bright green fall! : thankfully he loves the colours as I don't think I've got it in me to make another beast just yet!
