Nicely done Ross. I really like the color combination.
Don't set it down in the woods...... you might never find it again. :)

Great job Ross.
I like the skull concho idea. :)
You've already said it cracked well. It looks like it too.

Wolfgang here's the ebay link https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Indy-Crystal ... 890.l49292

Having never sold a whip before (trading doesn't count) I have no idea what to value my work so I've put it as auction to see if and what people would be willing to pay....... If it sells.... :lol: the next one will be even better as I have a lighter tan colour on order and a Raiders headpiece concho ready to print :D

Ben thank you, I have a few more concho ideas up my sleeve for later projects ;)

Wolfgang yes I put a starting bid of £90 (never sold a whip before so I'm not a known seller) I haven't put it up for sale on Facebook marketplace because its far more localised but have posted the link to various groups......... Didn't sell on its first run but in sure it will go after Xmas :)

Ross, why not post in both?
Local? You never know who's interested unless you offer the product.
You might be surprised.

A very nice whip.
For those looking to buy a whip, this will surely catch their eye with the clean and precise look of it.
