After seeing your coral snake design it's shot up on my list of patterns to make one day, it looks stunning!

Andrew, thank's a lot
This pattern got on my to do list after watching Robby's review of Rhett Kelley's work.

A build form September: 8 foot 16 plait bullwhip with 2 bellies, a 12 inch handle completely in a herringbone pattern.
The first belly is 10 plait. An 8 plait belly would have also fitted the core, but I went for a 10 plait since I wanted the thong to start tapering before the core started tapering.
8 plait square start on the handle with 2 added strands where the pencil points.
it's kind of bunchy, but it did smooth out a bit after the belly got rolled. Also, the "bunchyness" added some stiffness to the transition area. All layers of binding ended at the short 8 plait section of the first belly, which created a uniform shape again.
First belly ending in a TT:
12 plait for the second belly:
The Overlay:
All the best

Great looking whip, Ben.
It's similar to my practice whip, but longer.
Nice work.

I het the send too fast, I wanted to add I love how precise all your whips are. I try, but can't even get close to being that precise. Great job.

A 6 foot hidden handle Bullwhip. The coustomer wanted to have a little bit of red colour in the handle. Since this whip got plaited from the tip (English Eye), I added 4 red strands of 275 cord at the handle:

Great job Ben.
I really like the sleekness of it.
It looks like it could crack itself.
