Whip #84 is a 6-foot bullwhip with a 12 -inch Canary wood handle. It has a core of seven strands of un-gutted paracord of various lengths bound with artificial sinew to a 1/4-inch steel rod, a single plaited belly, and a 16-plait overlay in olive drab, gold, and cream paracord. The canary wood handle has been drilled to about 10 inches and the exposed part of the steel rod was epoxied into the hole, making a very strong connection between the wood and the thong of the whip. It has a 9-inch carapace at the transition in gold and cream paracord plaited in a short herringbone pattern. The whip is waxed.

Great looking whip, Mark.
I like the color combination.

How does it crack?
( not needed I know, but well.... :) )

Thank you, Ron and Rachel. Ron, it seems to crack pretty nicely, although it has been so windy here that I haven't had much chance to play with it.
