That was exactly my logic in going with Gus' whip. I went from pictures on his website and low and behold...a real nice whip came in the mail.

I would like to get a nice kangaroo whip eventually though. When my addiction has reached critical mass I'm sure I'll pony up for a high end whip.

Thanks. It's a '67 Fender Telecaster.

Just got a new whip from Gus Caicedo at purewhips.com . It's an 8 foot, 12 plait cowhide Indy style. Nice work and tightly plaited. Cracks beautifuly. I'm very pleased. Just got it today and already is breaking in nicely. Gus made this whip fast. Very nice guy to deal with. Here are some pics. http:...

Thanks for all the advice guys. I went to Tandy and got some latigo scraps from the remnant bin and some aussie leather conditioner. I got black latigo that was thick and some brown that was thinner. I cut a black fall first, replaited the last 6" of the whip and tied it on. Quite stiff, I was ...

That pic is from the auction itself so you can see how short the fall was to begin with. I twisted my own crackers and eventually popped off 6" of the fall. The fall appeared to be made from the same leather that the whip is overlaid in. So, a heavier redhide or latigo is the way to go? I have ...

I recently bought a bullwhip from a guy on ebay. Seems pretty nice. 12 plait 7.5 ' Indyish Brown and black. 2 layer core & 2 layer belly-1 plaited 1 wrapped. Figured it would be better than a similar priced Mexican whip with a rope core or some @#$%. Anyway, been crackin' the mess out of this th...
