Looks great Rachel- Is UB the owner's initials?

Thanks, Tyler-
Not exactly, it stands for "Uncle Bill", his nick name.

Here's a new one I just finished, nothing fancy or extraordinary, but here you go:
10 ft. 14 plait two belly
15" Goncalo Alves handcut handle.
Wood stock for handle from Whip Nation.

Rachel, another fine looking whip.
Is the white stuff wax?

Ron

Yessir it's wax, it was bit cool outside this morning. At 250, it'll still cool quick on the thinner parts.

It looks great Rachel- is that dark acid brown lace?

Meant to say thank you, Ron!

Tyler, thanks!
No sir it is chocolate brown. I also meant to put that on there...

Looking great Rachel, the nice simple combination of yellow wood and a brown thong.

Thank you, Devin!

If you look at it from a distance, the chocolate brown cord actually makes it look like it's made of leather

Splendid, Rachel! Very 'businesslike'!

I'm really impressed, great work, The whip is very beautyfull.

Thank you, Philbert, I appreciate it,
Oliver, thank you! Mr. Robert, I thank you too, 'Businesslike' is exactly as it is intended, indeed!

It was wanted for round pen work with horses, as well as cattle in the open.

Solid! Nice one Rachel : )

Beautiful as usual. I like the size of that 14 plait. It looks a tad more shoulder friendly than a 16 plait and easier cracking than a light weight 12 plait.

Thank you Erik and Roy!

Roy you hit the nail on the head, it (to the best of my knowledge) appears tip heavy enough still to do well in most weather but as you say not so tough on the shoulder as it would get to be in a round pen.

Very good looking whip!

Thank you, Miss Bobbi!

Beautiful whip, great job Rachel.

All the best
Mario

Thank you very much, Mario!!!
