I do treat my whips' handles, knots and wrist loops with a light coat of Pecard maybe 2-3 times a year. And like riku1914, I have never had a problem. I condition the fall and thong more frequently. The reason I give the handles/turksheads less attention is because I think they get enough conditioni...

Great looking whip!

I was in Florida over the holidays and saw the Indy stunt show. The stuntman playing Indy definitely dodges boulders better than me...but I think my Garrison wins the hat competition: http://web.me.com/johnleonetti/cracktice/121911.html#73" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; You...

Most impressive Todd.

I just saw the David Morgan blog has been updated with some info and photos from the shoot:

Extreme Marksman to feature David Morgan on Jan 25th

Thank you Yvette. Sounds like it was a beautiful celebration. I met Walt for the first time at the ‘08 Summit. I introduced myself after dinner, and we had a lively discussion about whips and whip making. I mentioned I had an ‘89 Morgan in very good condition and a Karaka synthetic whip from New Zea...

Here's the History Channel's page for the show: More Extreme Marksmen.

Excellent site and awesome pics!

Happy New Year! I've added some new material I shot at David Morgan's shop on December 27th. As usual he was very generous with his time, and allowed me to photograph more whips from his private collection. The following day David's son Will, Louie Foxx and I gave a whip demo to members of The Barto...

Very nice pics. Do you have captions or a story to go with them? Country musician and wild west performer Judy Taylor organized this annual event a few years ago as a way for members of the old WWAC to keep in touch, share tricks and stories, and teach new people about the wild west arts. Most of t...

Last weekend I attended the 3rd Annual Wild West Gathering in California. I snapped a few photos, cracked a few whips, and had the chance to meet and swap stories with the attendees. Many people brought their own whips, and I photographed a few including a vintage Wheatley, a variety of Jackas, and ...

FYI I just added another gallery of behind the scenes photos from "More Extreme Marksmen," featuring knife thrower Jack Dagger and his lovely assistant Tonya. Not whip related, but I thought some of you would enjoy the knife action.

When I visited David Morgan's shop in August the delivery time for a new Indy whip was late January 2009. I would definitely give them a call to confirm, though.

The teaser trailer is now up on Youtube.

It was a fascinating day. It really made me appreciate the patience and skill required to produce a good whip. Glad you liked the pics!

FYI I just added some new photos of Anthony De Longis and his Rancho Indalo Riders performing at a wild west charity event last weekend. The event featured a wide variety of western performers and rodeo riders. I also snapped some shots of the guests, including stuntman/2nd Unit Director Terry Leona...

If you get the chance, I recommend looking at one of Anthony's dvds before your lesson. Before I went up there I repeatedly watched "Whipcracking With The Masters," which exposed me to many of Anthony's basic teaching principles and cracking techniques. I felt like I got much more out of t...

Hello everyone, This past year I’ve been photo documenting my whip cracking adventures on the west coast. During that time I’ve met some truly great individuals, including some members here at Club Obi Wan. Thank you Dan, Louie, and Adam for sharing your knowledge and insight! My photos cover a wide...
