I've lent your Frankenwhip to friend of mine who is a real beefy fellah and likes to muscle his whips (no matter how many times I tell him not to! :/) and he does like it. :D
Glad to hear it. That one was definitely heavy. I still want to eventually make a three belly like that one but around 12'.

That is a beefy whip! It looks great Craig. I always love seeing the pictures of other people’s work here on WB. I agree, that concho is cool and goes well with the color scheme. I really like the heel knot too. Nice work!

Craig, I'm very glad to hear the 'whip bug' is being caught further up the ranks! Ha! :)

Robert - indeed! I think the novelty is the selling point. How many people can say that their going away gift was a whip?

Latest whip for departing boss finished. He went to Alabama so it has the Crimson Tide colors (Crimson, White, and Grey) and he was an Engineer Officer so it has those colors (Scarlet and White) as well. And finally black and gold for the Army.

I'm going to start on my whip for the raffle this weekend. It's going to be called "The Whip with No Name".

Craig, I'm guessing 5' ?

It's ok if you disagree with me.
I can't force you to be right.

No. 6' I pretty much always make 6'.

Just finished the second belly on my donation whip. Should finish it this weekend.

Latest whip. 6' Korean Flag bull whip. I'm really happy with all three knots. The heel knot is also glow in the dark.

Grrr....photobucket is putting their logo all over the photos and destroying the best parts!

It looks good, Craig, but I always fear getting a white whip dirty.
I'll give it a try, Dad, but it's going to be really hard...kind of like trying to saw something in half using a banana.

Scott - me too, that's why I drowned it in scotch guard. It'll probably never get used, but it cracks well.

That looks very nice Craig. I like the heel and the colors.
