Ron, that’s exactly what I think of when I see the burgundy and yellow together, school colors
Jessie thank you. I still need to get used to such a long handle, though I haven’t been able to try it out much with the crappy weather we’ve been having. I think i’ll make a longer thong to go with this handle.
Thank you Jyri. I was not expecting the dramatic weight difference without the bbs in the core. I also used a lot less binding so i’m sure that cut the weight down as well. So she is very light. I admit I don’t have much experience throwing whips, only practice with the ones i’ve made, but i’m finding that I prefer longer and heavier. So as we speak i’m planning out a 10ft that will still have no bbs but will have a third belly.
Collin thank you. I’m kind of a minimalist, so transition knots look unnecessary to me. Plus they detract from the shape of the whip in my humble opinion. I too like the orange against the blue. I like a brightly colored fall, helps me see what’s happening at that end of the whip.
Mark thank you. Help and inspiration from all of you has helped me progress.
