Whip Basics. The Forum

Jyri, even when there are no lanterns anywhere near, in total darkness?!
But you have a point there, I actually thought „How is Jyri doing this with a night 6 months long?!“

Whip number 28:


8,5ft Bullwhip with one plaited belly and wrought iron concho.

Whip number 29:


8.3ft bullwhip with two plaited bellyes and one layer going lenghtwise.

Nicely done Jyri.
How does it crack?

Ron

Whip number 30:





Stockwhip with 20inch handle and 7,6ft thong.

Now that's the way to make a stock whip.
The colors really match together and the taper of the handle is super.
This one screams.... " CRACK ME!"

Ron

Excellent work, Jyri, I especially like the stockwhip. How long is that handle?

Thanks! Video is uploading.

Number 29 is quite heavy and feels just like 3 belly whip. It rolls out nicely but the backside is pretty stiff.

27 and 28 are pretty similar with relatively short transition.

The stockwhip works fine but it is not a fast one, at least it does't feel like one.

First one is the blue wit 550 and 275, then the one with grey cord, stock and the heavy one

Splendid, Jyri! Really nice!

Wow Jyri, those are some excellent whips.

About number 29, it seems like one color is actually very narrow near the transition knot, how did you manage that effect?

Sven

Thank you!

Sven i used 550 cord and 275 cord.

Did the stockwhip get the balance you wanted ? and does it feel like a light weighted whip ?

Flemming i have to do some testing still. The handle did take on some weight in wax. Tomorrow i know more. I'll post more then.

Jyri, they are beautiful whips. How do you not have snow?!?

Scott we haven't have any snow all winter exept for few days here and there. It has rained water more than enough tough. They are making somekind of record for snow up north.

This is beautiful!

Jyri, your work is sure beautiful!

AH, I see. That's interesting, using two different sizes of paracord.

Sven

Whip number 30:

Stockwhip with 6ft thong and about 20inch handle.
Handle is spruce and concho is tool steel.

Oh this looks familiar - like last year's lottery whip, but 6 instead of 7 feet.
Nice work again!
