First Full Size Bullwhip in the Works (5ft)

[Ethan Mitchell]

Thanks again guys! It is definitely my best whip both in looks and overall performance. The two things I would say I need to work on the most is, keeping my seem straight (I found if I stood back as I plaited rather than hunching over it I could keep the seem straight much easier), and binding. The transition turned out much stiffer than I was planning.

[Ron May]

Ethan the stiffness will loosen up with use.
That's why it's important to make it a little stiffer than you might think they should be in the beginning.
A stiff transition you can still throw correctly. A limp one not so much.

I never worry about too stiff a transition, they always seem to loosen up to where I want them. That's a fine whip.

Ethan, I have never met a transition that I thought was too stiff, but I've seen plenty that were not stiff enough. Don't fret - rejoice!
