Whip Basics. The Forum

At last, I've got my new camera and am learning how to run it.

Here's a photo (by me) of my new Amper Special:



Devin's work is quite magnificent, and the action of this whip is wonderful.

It looks great!

Thanks, Bobbi. As I get used to the camera, I hope to get some better photos....

That is nice! I do like the 'simple'handle. No fuss, just tapered and polished. <jealous>

Good looking bullwhip.

Thanks, Roger! As you say, no fuss!

Rhett, I wonder if you've seen Devin's work 'for real'? It is very fine - and all the better for being understated. But the real test is in how it handles....

Nice looking whip.
I've admired Devin's whips in his gallery.
He does some really fine work.
Congratulations

Awesome Gentlemen:) It's cool to see the progress from block to sweet handle.

Nice work Devin! It's good to see you again ~Guy~

Thanks Guy, it is good to have you back.
I must admit that much of my work was inspired by your style, very elegant indeed.

Hi Devin great work and nice looking whip!!!!

Beautiful handle for a beautiful whip.

Thanks guys, glad you like it!

And I continue to think it's terrific!

Glad to hear it Robert.

I've had a slow spell and been unable to get much done with whipmaking, but I've had a comeback and have a few pictures to share.
Woody Bullwhip in Chocolate Brown with Dark Brown accents

Another whip I am working on, an Amper Special in Desert Ironwood.

Woops, the second description should be one more photo down

Very fine work, Devin! That chocolate brown woody looks wonderful, and the richness of desert ironwood puts this wood in a class of its own!

Wow. Amazing work as usual, Devin.

Beautiful work on the whip as well as the handle Devin!

Devin, I love this one. The handle is really great.
