Last Crusade Style

A customer asked me to make an Indy Style in Whiskey to get the older look in Last Crusade. The deal never finalized, but I had the whip prepped so I decided to make it, anyway. I figured there's nothing wrong with having a nice "in stock". In case anyone is interested, this one is for sal...

Nice job with the tapered handle!

Thank you!

The color is gold. I wish it would stay that color after waxing, too, because it's very nice. But I also like the color it ends up as afterwards.

Re: This Week's Whip

Great looking whip! How thick is calfskin compared to kip and roo? It's 2-3 oz like roo and kip, so at first touch it's very similar. Something about it takes a little getting used to when cutting and pairing, though. It seems "lighter" somehow when the blade slides through it. And if you...

This Week's Whip - May 2

I make this type sometimes. It's an eight foot calf skin. I call these type "Calf Skindiana Jones" bullwhips. I love the properties and color of these veg tanned calf skins. Once conditioned, the strands cut from the skins are surprisingly strong. I was really leaning into the strands as I...

Pretty great. I’ve been taking it everywhere with me. I’m pretty sure this is my every day whip for a while.

Jonesy!

This is my first nylon whip in a little bit. Of course there are several factors separating this whip from a true Indy style, but I wanted to post it here because it does look a bit "Jonesy" to me.

Re: What's your whip obsession story?

Yes, thank you. It’s easy to write long about something you’re passionate about. But readers can feel that passion, and enjoy it!

What's your whip obsession story?

When I was 10 I saw Raiders for the first time, and of course I became absolutely fascinated by the look of the whip! How could braided leather be so smooth...so shiny? Having one was all I could think about. My dad got me a $100.00 street fair whip a few months later...nothing like Indy's...but I W...

Re: Chronicles of a First Indy Whip: Chose Wisely or Poorly?

That's so kind, thank you! Making these things is my passion (obsession). Especially when it comes to making the Holy Grail of whips, the one that started it all for me when I was a kid. :whip:

It's always great to read a good adventure story! I'm glad you like the whip, Chose Poorly! It was a pleasure to make. But what whip isn't?
