Whip Basics. The Forum

This is a 16-plait, 7.5-ft, kangaroo hide bullwhip, 8-inch handle, two plaited bellies, and two kipskin bolsters. It has a 30-inch latigo fall and a B5 5cracker The heel foundation is lead. The heel knot is a 7x6 doubled THK and the transition knot is a single pass 7x6 THK.

I'm gobsmacked.
Great looking whip.
I really like your presentation and photography.

Thank you very much, Ron.

Dang Mark, everything about it looks like it was meant to be.

Thanks, Hayes.

Everything perfectly in place and on point, this is a beautiful work of art. Mark, I love the look and the plaiting of this whip, it is spot on!! You’re a master in your own right, no doubt about it, my friend. Fantastic, fantastic!

I most heartily agree with all of the above. Terrific!

Mark WOW just WOW! that is a thing of pure beauty right there

Thank you Rachel Robert, and Ross.

Very nice indeed, Mark! (It's curious how this whip, in action, somehow looks longer than 7.5 feet.)

Robert, the video was recorded on a Gopro. Those little cameras are really nice but they all seem to have a bit of a fisheye effect, so I think that's why it looks longer. Plus, it has a 30-inch fall.

Thanks, Mark! The 'fish eye' effect of your camera explains a lot!

Mark it flows like butter.
Great job.

Ron

WOW, what a beauty!
