Robby, I concur with you.
It's about time to showcase Jessie and her unique and artistic whips and the handles she makes for them.
No one makes handles this special.


Ron

Congratulations, Jessie!!! Way to go, WS!

Robby, I fully agree

Show us the beauty, Jessie!

Thank you, Robby, for giving me a place with the cool kids, and to everyone, for encouraging me to do it. Without you guys I would have never felt good enough to try.

I'm learning, hoping to get better every day. I guess, if my new year had a resolution, being able to say I was a real whipmaker would be it. I only have a few whips that I have made, so until I get a few more finished, these are my first...

Thank you, Robby.

Beautiful, beautiful, unique whips!

More, More!!!!!

You deserve it. And here you are, Whipmaker Sistah.

Populus is beautiful.

How is it to hold that handle and crack it?
How do you arrive at a name?

Ron

Robby helped me with that too. Each name is very a very simple explanation of the handle translated into Latin. I had suggested wanting my whip brand name being Sui Generis. Latin for "something unique" or "of it's own kind" Robby came up with the idea of carrying that theme to each whip. Popolus means willow, etc. I think it was a cool idea.

Oh, and the handle isn't that much different than a straight one. It isn't much of a target whip, but just cracking is fine.

Absolutely beautiful.

Wow, very very pretty, Jessie! Every one of those whips would be a beauty to hold

You deserve it Jessie - looks beautifull

Wohoo, here we go!

I like the latin names, an coincidentally something I've been tooling around in my head lately!

Definitely keep it up!

Jessie, this is fantastic! Well done! And thank you, Robby, for giving Jessie this window to show us her work!

I find Populus especially appealing: it looks like something a Viking might carry - and at the very least, deserves to be used on a film set! (That assumes, of course, that the camera could focus enough on the handle to show how distinctive it is.)

AND - I can reveal that I am now the proud owner of Feather! Due to Christmas, and the weather, I haven't yet put it through its paces properly, but look forward to doing so at an early opportunity. It is a fine whip!

These a beautiful Jessie, very unique

Welcome Jessie, and well done! These are absolutely unique in the world. Gorgeous work, I hope you have a great time making whips this year

These are great Jessie! Very inspiring!

Thank you everyone.

Congrats Jessie, Populus caught my eye too when i was looking through the pictures.

Congrats Robert on becoming the owner of a beautiful whip like that

Thanks, Philbert - I'm enjoying it already! (I'll post a report in due course....)

Yup, Populus is great. I haven't seen that one before. I'm really liking the 'alternative' handle. Looking forward to the review.
