Rachel, I hate it when that happens.
And it happens to us all at one point or another.
Nice job.

Ron

Me too! Thanks, Ron!

Rachel, and they fly off and end up where all the missing socks from the dryer go, never to be seen again.

Ron

I have located one, waaaaay out by the mailbox across the road. But no socks out there, Go figure!

It looks great Rachel, that is quite a difference between the waxed and unwaxed color!

Thank you Tyler, it is quite a difference.

Something I meant to mention,
Credit for a quick change cracker loop is due to Tyler!

Looking good Rachel! I love the falls with those quick change crackers, though I've managed to snap a cracker once at the place where it connects XD

Looks very nice

Nice solution!

I like it more than the regular 'knot'.

English fall?

Rachel, I like it! I like it a lot!

Thank y'all, I thought it would be a good serviceable alternative!

Brandon that was some cracking hey, to cut it there!

Erik that sounds right, English Fall. Unless Tyler has a name for it!

Thank you Morten and Mr. Robert. I believe I have some more Acid Dark Brown here somewhere.....I need to make a few more.

I don't know a specific name other than double loop fall, which doesn't really roll off the tongue :p I learned it here myself from ... was it Roy and Devin?

Ah! Well there we go. Erik made a good suggestion, English Fall sounds good for a cow whip then if no one has any protest
I figured it had been done before, I don't recall seeing it on a cow whip as a fall but as plaited from the tip like an English eye.

I like it's not difficult to mAke or tie on compared to the added benefit.

Oh yeah, definitely. It was an overhead crack with my 11ft whip that may or may not have had too much force in it to try scare someone.....

I like the "English fall" name :P

Thank you, Brandon. It happens!

Rachel, that's a terrific whip. Robby, it's a terrific review! Roy, you're a terrific supplier! Full marks to everyone!

Rachel, an excellent addition to your line of whips that you make.
I watched the video and it what every whip should aspire to be when they grow up.

Ron

I wanna be a Rachel when I grow up...

Me too Jessie.
