Stunning as usual, Gio. 24 plait is beautiful!

Many Thanks Jessie and Jesse

24 plait, that is intense! Lovely work Gio!

:-) thanks Tyler

Oh wow, Gio, wow!!!!! This is really an even higher form of art. Perfect! How do you like the feel of the new bolster?

Many thanks Rachel, the whip works fine.
This is what wrote me the Customer:
The whip arrived today. I carefully started cracking with it when I came home from work and I have never tried a whip so easy to handle. Now I had to look at Whip - basics volume three to have new challenges - because everythin feels so easy.
Thanks again. It is already so much more fun :-)

That's perfection thank you, Gio!

:-) many Thanks Rachel

Gio, that's a mighty fine piece of work! I imagine that whip moves like butter - and it's very, very beautiful!

Thank you Robert, you are right, the overlay is tight and flexible at the same time.
Thanks again

That looks so stunning. The braiding looks silky smooth. Must have been some intens work with 24-plait?
But what a end result!

Outstanding work Mr. Celeste !!!

The 24 palit whip caught my eye in particular (the fall hitch looks like you've made it using 12 strands - WOW) and the feedback from your customer shows how phenomenal it must perform !!!

Whips are tools (well in your case they are more than tools - they are functional pieces of art) and the better the tool the easier it is to work with it.

All the best

Hello Sven and Ben, thank you so much for your kind feedback. Re. The point of the whip, thank you Ben for giving me the opportunity to say that the point of the thong ends to 12 strands.
I forgot to write....

Gaucho Whip - 8' 12 plt

Hello All,
I'm glad to show you this whip recently done.
Here some specs:
12 strands roo leather
25 cm handle
Pattern: gaucho braind
You can see this kind of pattern in three points:
Butt and ring knots (7L 6B two passes) and in the middle of the handle.
For these reasons i choose to call it Gaucho whip.
I hope you like it
Cheers - Gio

Gio, your work is absolutely impeccable! This is great!

That Gaucho braiding is lovely. I'm trying to work out the pattern from the pictures but just can't see it. Beautiful, Gio!

Ah, leather! Nice work Gio!

Nice Gio.

Ron

Thank you all guys :-)
