Whip Basics. The Forum

6 ft. stockwhip, 16 plait overlay, 18 inch padauk handle, 2 bellies over a twisted-tapered cored, a couple of strips of lead under the 9.6 pineapple knot for balance. Thunderbird concho, 30 inch double-ended weighted fall (ala Tyler Blake)

Very nice Mark.

Ron

Super! Well done, Mark!

Beautiful!

Thanks, everyone.

Oh, what a beautiful whip!!!

Thank you, Rachel.

A terrific looking whip again!
Mark, I wonder have you ever built a whip that is only slightly similar to another one you made or are they all totally unique?
From the picture threads it seems like that

Well done Mark! Nice looking keepers! How's the weight?

Mark, I forgot to ask, how does it crack?
(as if I didn't know already )
I know that this is a cliche but, it really does look like it will crack itself.

Ron

Thank's Jyri, it's fairly heavy with a balance point about5-6 cm toward the heel from the keeper binding.

Ron, it cracks nicely, although I might change the fall to one that is a bit shorter and the cracker to one that is a bit thinner.

Sorry for being late to the party, but that is one sleek stock whip you've got there Mark

Thank you, Andrew.

how beautiful, mark! I am looking forward to making a stock whip when I get caught up around here. I really want to give it a try. I love this beautiful!

Thank you very much, Jessie.
