Whip Basics. The Forum

Hello All! I stumbled upon this forum late last night and I think it is great! My name is Jeff and I am from Reno, NV. I got into making whips several years ago as a hobby. I have several made from "kits" and am trying to finish a stockwhip I cut from a kangaroo hide. I've also started a nylon bullwhip based on Noreast Whips instructions. Overall I have the basics down, but fine tuning the skills is needed. Thanks for the great site!

In an earlier post someone asked about where to get cane for a stockwhip handle in the United states. I found this place in Los Angeles. They have a pretty good variety and reasonable prices.

Hi Jeff,

And thanks for the URL you posted - this site is based on giving an taking. Thanks again and - have a good time here!
