Sorry, I've had a really crazy few weeks and didn't get a chance to get a pic till the other day. This is one of the budget whips, not an Indy whip but... https://66.media.tumblr.com/5cac5a04b79a24101d2c0ff559f23e13/tumblr_odydvhnw0Z1sg4eyeo1_540.jpg I've had it for about 4 years now and crack it fa...

I'll try to get a good one. My photography skills aren't....even up to par of awful. lol

I have one of his 8 plait budget whips and I really like it. Fantastically accurate and very well made.

Wow. Your work just leaves mean speechless. Amazingly beautiful stuff.

As for the other stuff, I haven't a clue about soul or no soul. In the market for a whip, but have yet to take the plunge. Found ...
