My whip journey so far :)

[Jyri Haveri]

Well done Ross!

[Ross Buckley]

Jyri thank you

Here's my latest creation an 8ft 16 plait Zorro inspired whip, this one is slimmer and lighter than my Indy style whips.

[Ron May]

That whip looks great Ross.
Very nice job.

Ron

[Robert Gage]

Very nice, Ross!

[Ross Buckley]

Thanks guys I'm really happy with how this one turned out & at 370g it's over 100g lighter than my Indy whips!

[Mark Elliott]

Good work, Ross. Love a black whip. the ferrule and initial are nice touches.

[Ben Varsek]

Ross, very good job, that whip looks very elegant.
How do you like the performance compared to your heavier Indy-whips?

Ben I gave it a little test crack today, I find I have to flick my wrist a little bit more to get the crack but that's more about getting used to a lighter whip I think, flows and rolls out beautifully tho

Here is the whip I've made for my daughter Aaliyah's 18th, she's a big Harry Potter fan so I've made it in the colours of his school house Gryffindor.
It's 7ft 16 plait with a 10" Steel handle and a twisted tapered core, two plaited bellies and waxed.

[Ron May]

Ross, this is really nice.
Straight seams, neat plaiting, excellent fall hitch. I love the "A" in the heel.
Nicely done.
How does it crack?

Ron

[Rachel McCollough]

That is a really lovely whip! It has a very nice taper, and the plaiting is sweet!

[Ross Buckley]

Thank you Ron & Rachel

Ron a gave it a quick test in the garden yesterday and she cracks effortlessly

[Ross Buckley]

Ron I have a box full of these letters that I found on ebay, I'll be sad when I start to run out as I still can't seem to find the original manufacturer :/

[Robert Gage]

Ross, that's a real beauty! Thanks for sharing!

[Ross Buckley]

Thank you Robert

Ive just done a mental count up and it turns out that the whip I've made for her 18th is actually the 18th whip I've made....... How strange

[Mark Elliott]

That looks great, Ross!

Wow.. a Gryffindor whip

I has tried to persuade my daughter to learn two crack a whip, but she refuses.

She reads classical archaeology and I've told her that the biggest hurdle to experiencing the same things as Indiana Jones is that she can't handle a whip.

Maybe a Gryffindor whip can make a difference to an big Harry Potter fan

[Jyri Haveri]

Nice!

I quite agree every archaeologist should be able to handle a Whip!

At least if Aaliyah doesn't take to the whip she will always keep it with her Harry Potter collection
