I didn't see the video link until after I posted. Jyri that thing moves really smoothly and you cracking has really gotten good.

That does move very nicely, Jyri. Nice work!
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.

Jyri - it is definitely a long whip. I think Gitte will laugh if she see "little" me trying to handle a long whip like that :)

I have one of Ben's 5-foot snakes - just like this, but in different colours. I think it's great! I've brought it with me, hoping Ben would be here. I've shown it to Robby, and he thinks it's great, too! :)

It's quite heavy for its size, and has the added benefit of a weighted fall.

Hey all, just getting back from Boston, but wanted to slip this in here if it's not too late as my donation whip: 7ft 14 plait cow whip with twisted taper tip, Spanish ring knot accents created from dropped strands on overlay, and turned mahagony handle and all waxed. Thanks!!

Very whip Collin.
I like the idea of the changing plaiting pattern on the thong.
How does it crack?
Thank you.

Thanks Rachel and Ron. I think it cracks easy with the longer and owner motions. It is shot loaded and a little on the heavier side, but due to turn handle wood and size is still balanced 50/50, with maybe a little nose bias.

Collin, I prefer a little nose heavy whip no matter what the overall weight is.
Nice job.
