Whip Basics. The Forum

Thank y'all so very much! Roger, as soon as I'm out of school I will be able to give the whips the proper attention!.

Roy, thank you sir!!!

Alexis, there should be a full set of pictures in this particular thread.... Just go back a couple pages. The Triplets pictures shows pretty much everything.

I look forward to finishing a whip I am currenly almost done with. It will really be very neat to see what its new owner thinks about it.

Here is a 16 plait SINGLE belly cow whip in Imperial Red and Maroon split colors with fancy plaiting I did a while back for a special person. The handle is 15" bubinga.
I think it is around 7 or 7.5'

The total color combinations really work well.
Very cool indeed.

Ron

Wow, Rachel, that is a bright one! Outstanding work, as always.

Rachel, the red and maroon work very well together - and that handle completes the look! Super!

Thank y'all very much

I love the decorative touches in the thong design. Lovely colours, too.

I really don‘t like Rachel. Every time she brought up some new patterns and/or color combinations, I say to myself: „That‘s it. Impossible to find anything new, now...“ And what does Rachel...? She finds new patterns and color combinations. She proves me wrong all the time

Robby

A beautiful working whip there! The handle and thong go together great! And the patterning adds a bit of style. Wonder what maroon and neon green would look like... :p

I do like those reds. Nicely done, Rachel!

Thank y'all very much

Ethan, try it out!!!

Robby, how can the Legend be wrong? Thank you very, very much.

Gotta stop looking at these, Rachel. Starting to get too envious!!!!

Great looking whip.
I love how you "barrel" the cup part. It makes it look so sleek and streamlined.
Gotta love "simple", even though it's not.

Ron

Superb, Rachel - again! I love the way your work evolves so subtly. That handle really is a new advance. As Ron says, 'so sleek and streamlined'!

Thank y'all very much
That grain in the wood really makes it stand out quietly, I think. I appreciate it

Beatiful Rachel! That wood is just spot on

Rachel, for me, that's the perfect description of something really excellent: saying it 'stands out quietly'!

I agree...and a picture of a well-plaited, coiled whip sometimes has something almost ‚hypnotic‘ in it... one could look at it for minutes!

Wow, the mach between thong and handle

Are the cow whip as heavy as the stockwhip ?
