Whip Basics. The Forum

I really have to order some raindeer hide soon!
Looking great Rachel!

Really splendid, Rachel. These photos make me salivate!

Very nice work, Rachel.

Beautiful Rachel, thanks for posting. It’s very helpful for me to see how you bound where it transitions from plait to twist. I was always curious how the veterans dealt with that hinge.

Oh, I do like the look of that black hide... Well done, as always, ma'am!

Thank y'all very much

Here is the handle for the 2019 WB Dog Shelter Campaign whip. This is Hormigo, hand shaped. 15”, will have a 16 plait Rust and Midnight Blue single belly 9’ thong.

I knew this was going to be a spectacular piece of wood.
I like the way you sort of counter sunk the cord hole.
Such attention to detail. This surely won't abrade the cord.

Ron

Absolutely fantastic, Rachel!

Ron, thanks, Nature sure have a showing in the grain! I haven’t had any problems with cord abrasion, I hope they hold well.

Mr. Robert, thank you!

For the pups, though I wish I had more time for better finishing and a fancier plait. It is all I could do with what all is going on right now, but those pups deserve all the help we can give them.

Very pretty WS. its going to look really nice

That's a gorgeous piece of wood (and work)!

Thank you, WS!

Scott, thank you!

Rachel, I don't mind win that whip

Rachel, it flows nicely.
Thanks for posting the videos and I love the slo-motion .


Ron

Thanks, Ron!

Man, that mustachio really really makes the whip pop.

Mark, I think that makes it “Turbo Charged”
Yes, yes it does

Very pretty colors on this one!
