Whip Basics. The Forum

Mr. Robert I am envious.
I'm looking forward to the report when you get good feather weather.

Ron

Robert, we were talking about my keeping track of my whips and I went through and counted. Feather would be my #6 build. It's interesting how quickly they build up. Circuitus, which I am working on today, will be number 12. For those of you doing this for a long time, do you know how many whips you have made exactly? Do you keep track in a book or something?

When you take pictures, WS, you can lay an index card with the whip # in one for your records. That way, if you somehow miss writing it down but have the photos, you can find it if you need to.

Congratulations on a beautiful whip, Mr. Robert!

Jessie, 11 whips done and all ready have a slot here in this section of your own.
It does not surprise me at all.
Good job.

The number of whips people have made might be a good topic all on it's own.

Ron

I only keep track on the ones i sell - got order number 25 today

I have a book with details of every whip I've made, all the dimensions, name (if I've given it one), who it went to and colours on the overlay.

Circuitus: 4 foot 14-plait in tea-dyed teal and coyote brown, copper handle with 4 types of hand cut veneer mahogany making a compass rose. Whip #12

Very beautiful, I love the antique look of this! You're really turning out true art!

Very nicely done Jessie.
Can we get a better pic of the veneer detail?
How long is the handle?
Does it come with a frame for wall display storage when not in use? Fine art usually does you know.
Really good job.

Ron

It has a 12" handle.



Best I can do, Ron until it warms up and I can spend some time with my welder.

Very nicely done and it looks like the copper is well protected so it won't oxidize.
Thanks.

Ron

Splendid, Jessie! Very classy!

Beautifully done! Seeing the handle finally paired to a whip is awesome!

Looking good

I love it!

Jessie - I really love the carving on the handle of your last whip. Awesome job.

Man that handle is so pretty!!

Awesome Jessie! I was going to ask about a better handle pic too.

This whip is outstanding Jessie! I love that greenish-bluish colour.

Knockin' it out of the park again Jessie.
