Sven, done that and it was not good :D
So i got more and more annoied about this problem and decided to do something about it.

I gave it good binding and 18plat sleeve.

Now it feels like it really has some meat on it. As i made few rollouts it felt about right. I'm going test it today. You really can see how fast that white starts to get dirty :D

So i finally got a moment for this project.
I made brass spacers, cutted birchbark, stackked them and peened it.
Image
Image
After 40-60min in oven about 100c i peened it some more and gave it rough grinding
Image
Image

After that i started to figure out the final shape

Next time i will get the size and shape ready. I put it to drill and grind it while it spins. Then i make wooden cover to that steel.

This is going to be splendid, Jyri! Is there any chance it will be ready for Wednesday, Finland's 100th birthday?

Thanks Robert! I hope it would be. It needs about 1,5-2hr to finish it.

That looks very nice, Jyri.
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.

Thank you!
Today i sanded it to final shape and made a tube from curly birch.

Next step is to make foundation to the transition and make a knot. I have to make new fall and clean it up a bit and hopefully take some picks outside if i have sunlight.
Bircbark really feels like heaven in your hand :)

Thanks!
Here is the knot
ImageImage
It looks kind of bulky, but the thong is a little beefy. The handle really balances the whip as it is one heavy handle.
