Thanks, Ron

Ha David! This is quite true...it could happen

[Robert Gage]

You definitely have consistency!

Quite right, David. And yet, Rachel's work somehow just looks better and better....

[David Cross]

Rather the point, though.

[Rachel McCollough]

Thank you, I hope to never stop learning.

[Sebastian Schott]

Great work.. I agree the consistency is unbelifeable..

[Sir Roger Tuson]

Awesome once again Rachel. Your woodwork is just getting better and better.

[Tyler Blake]

You have a whip cloning machine!

[Rachel McCollough]

Thank you very much, friends!

@ Rachel McCollough:

Outstanding work Mrs. McCollough !!!
I realy like the precice pyrography work on the cup of the handle on top of all the other great features of these whips !!!

All the best

I remember something, Ben wrote a few days ago. I'm not sure what it was.
I have to look for the post...

Thank you, Ben! The Jatoba is interesting to woodburn on for certain!

[Jessie Edwards]

Interesting how? Is it soft or does it take a long time to get a burn? Either way, is it an even burn or is it like oak in which you have hard veins mixed in with soft veins?

I want to burn another handle. Stefan mentioned he would like one like the one I had done for the meet and greet, but I want to choose a nice wood...something more consistent and smooth than oak.

[Rachel McCollough]

Robby you've got me very curious, I wonder just what you're thinking...


Jessie it's consistently hard. Evenly burns but takes time. Lots of time... But it is consistent. A less marked piece of Gonçalo where you'd have a more blank slate would burn much easier. I wonder how Jatoba would burn with the pyro pens like Tyler and Roy have???

[Jessie Edwards]

okay. Maybe I will experiment.

[Rachel McCollough]

Here's another one, I was going to make a solid rust but Lonnie mentioned Black with a yellow accent would look good with Bois D'arc so here it is:
6' 16 plait black and yellow With 16" fiberglass rod, English Eye.
Bois D'arc handcut wood grip with Tung oil.
Before waxing, it was getting late.

650 paracord from Whip Nation, Bois D'arc from our local woods.

[Ron May]

Rachel, if I ever need a ruler or straight edge I could just use one of your whips and sight along your plaiting. That is super straight.
The TT to an English eye is just genius.
Your excellent usual job.

Ron

[Craig Frank]

That's really cool looking. Especially the hybrid handle.

[Ron May]

I also like the lack of a transition knot.
It looks so sleek and graceful.
The wood knob is like icing on the cake.
I think this is one of, if not the best whip you have ever made.

Ron

[Robert Gage]

Rachel, the straightness of your plaiting is nothing short of astonishing! Golly!

[Rachel McCollough]

Thank you very much, my friends!

I like it best without a transition knot in this case, too. It wouldn't serve a purpose at all....
Thanks
