I'll see if the tag on the whip says something and report back if so, the general time frame sounds right.

I'm sure there is no sure for a good bit of time there as we transitioned... enjoy the mystery!

Thanks for the updates, there were quite a few changes. Would you make one more please? The Akubra Indy style hat we carry is called "The Adventurer", and here is a shorter link to it. http://www.davidmorgan.com/product_info.php?products_id=1128" onclick="window.open(this.href);...

Thanks for the list, _! ... PS: Sorry for no pics with this post. The only pic I have from the trip is my picture taken with David. Will said that some day they hope to put together a coffee table book with pics of all of David's whips. Thank you for coming to see us Adam, we all enjoyed meeting yo...

The Australian hat market is much less seasonal than it is in North America. Australians tend to think of fur felts as good all year around, a lot of Akubras are sold for Christmas. I liked the distinction made on wet versus dry heat, but there is also day versus night heat to consider. I would much...

Akubra also makes The Adventurer!

This Akubra is stocked in the US so size exchanges are not a problem for US customers, and we or one of our dealers will happily send one to the Philippines.

all around awesomeness!

I just quizzed David and Dorothy, 'it was a long time ago' was the answer i got when trying to get a closer date. I have a slightly higher resolution view of the picture here and I am pretty sure the hang tag says 'braided calfskin' which means it was likely during the kangaroo embargo but I'm going...

Hi Aldo! We make our belts from the centers of skins used for whipmaking and don't think that makes too thick a belt, we pare the strands to make them fit in more snugly but don't take any thickness off. Of course it helps if you are making a series of whips so therefore have a series of centers in ...

I have one of Mike's 5 foot 4 plait kangaroo stockwhips, it is very light, but cracks really easily.. it's great.

I'm very glad you are experienced with, and like Akubras Mr Michaelson, and glad you've tried on an Adventurer. Around the time we got the orders for the whips for the last Indiana Jones movie David got crown and brim measurements from the prop master which started the design of the Adventurer. Alas...

Alas, I don't think David's notes on the phone conversation have survived, but they are there related there in the crown and brim of the Adventurer. I do not wish to get off into a discussion of millimeters and the height of Harrison Ford in his shoes or not etc..., I believe that first and foremost...

Please don't forget to consider the Akubra Adventurer.

Designed with specs given to us for the last film by the property master, and if you need to exchange for size we have a 90 day return policy and can serve you quickly.

Thanks very much y'all for the support!

On March 19 2009 we at David Morgan shipped out one of our last Terry Jacka whips from stock, a 455c-blk black 10' bullwhip, along with a couple DVDs. We have just heard back from the card company that the order was a fraud: the person who made the order used a stolen card. The card holder denied ma...

We just got our gratis copy of the DVD so I bet it will be going on sale very soon. Do you think that one will be available for international shipping? I have only seen one of the Extreme Marksman episodes in Mexico, and advertised as a "Special program", so I think we may never see the w...

Avoid neets foot oil, it oversoftens leather. Looking at prices including shipping, I don't understand why it is better to go direct to Pecard other than a reputable whipmaker, thereby supporting the industry, unless perhaps you live near Wisconsin and the few days ground shipping are a critical fac...

I agree that the maker's skill is first order when looking at the quality of a certain design of whip. But material matters, and for the bullwhip my dad developed, a design i think we are assuming you are considering looking at given your post here, kangaroo is generally better than calf. When the U...

Thanks Mike! We like having visitors... and David I think has been a pretty special host over the years.. he has a good number of yarns for one thing. We are working on cleaning up and cataloging David's 500 piece leather goods collection so look to see more of that in future.

We just got our gratis copy of the DVD so I bet it will be going on sale very soon.

Is David still selling A grade hides with 1.2mm thickness? We always stock a good quantity of drum stuffed skins that are around 1.2 mm, what we classify as heavy, see http://www.davidmorgan.com/product_info.php?products_id=1027 Because of the last decade's weather conditions in Oz our stock is cur...

Thankee for the very kind welcome Bluzharp! Over the years David built up quite a record of correspondence with y'all and whip interested people in general, and I hope to help us keep that going in some fashion.

Great looking whip Spencer! Swap a heavier / longer fall in to see how that changes things? I've been playing around with different crackers lately. Both your and Laura's minis are very nice, how well do they crack? :D Maybe there should be an official record for the smallest whip, and the smallest ...

Hi Spencer! Nice to see you here. I've passed on your hellos and thanks to Meagan and Alex thank you, glad you had a good time, and glad you learned some things.. post away as you have time that'll be great, I'll share with the crew!

Adam - Thanks for your kindness re David. He has a sense of humor about it, my mom is the one who worries.. but we are all coping pretty well I think. Your act all came off as well improvised! We'd love to see you so always feel welcome. We should be able to get Louie and others together and maybe d...

A very interesting topic, too interesting to me in fact for me to chime in on so clearly... But Bufflehead I'm hoping that was a while ago when David said he was braiding whips. David's long term memory is pretty good, and he can keep up in most conversations and I would in fact love for him to have...

Ossum Adam!

Amazing keeping up your dialog so well ... lol at Sir Mix.

Our indy bashing tutorial is here:

Nibbs to say it again: "...or where those whips are now, we haven't had any communications from the stunt or other production people and I frankly don't know. " And, I am not sure what you mean by other indy stunt whips. I'll keep an eye out for images of whips made for the first three fil...

Thanks Nibs for the idea to go find the photos! That is nylon / polyster / some sort of synthetic rope cord coming out of the whips ( we still have what I believe is the spool with some several feet on it, it looks lighter in color in person to me, but it isn't labeled ). As an aside, the Mask Of Zo...

Hey will, any chance you have pictures of the stunt whips with the nylon cable? Nibs Well hrm... * searches around * why yes.... so, presenting, an Indygear EXCLUSIVE David's pictures of his twelve and sixteen foot stunt whips for KOTCS ... warning ... not necessarily screen accurate! http://mlhp.n...

Personally, ... Is Morgan still offering them? Travis T. Cowsill Yes we are! We are working with about a six month wait list presently.. Info on our work shop http://www.davidmorgan.com/workshop.html Here's the page listing the whips we provided for the movies including KOTCS: http://www.davidmorga...

This topic is a great testimony to a pillar of society here, a society that goes on more the richer than when he set up working with it. I was moved to register and say thank you to the folks who wrote to my dad David with the moving news of Walt's passing. Walt and David had exchanged a goodly amou...
