10' Joe Strain Whip Arrives! (with pics)
After nearly exhausting my funds getting Aldens and an AB, I finally eeked out enough savings to order my first ever 'roo ... from WSP. Would have loved a Morgan, but there are other things I can pick up for the nearly $300 extra it would have cost me. (Actually one more day and I would have bought this for the same price I got the Strain. My luck darn it. viewtopic.php?t=13011
I ordered the 10' in natural and called to specifically request it was a whip made by JOE STRAIN. Unfortunatly, Jo said they are not available right now in natural due to a hide shortage or such. It would be 6-8 weeks for one of these and I couldn't wait so I settled for a "medium brown".
It was shipped this past Friday so hoping I get it soon and can get cracking. Will post pics...

Holy Cow! ... er... kangaroo ... ITS HERE!!!!!!!!
All I can say is WOW!. I can just feel the quality in this thing, and the color is right on the movie whip to my eyes (even though I wanted natural). It has more red in it than you can tell by the pics and is also a lighter brown than it looks.
I gave it an innocent little flick and almost destroyed my living room. Outside I go...
Right out of the box. More pics to come...

Beautiful! And it even came with a free comic book!
Reminds me of when I got my Stenhouse. I had my mom drive me all the way to the post office to pick it up because we missed the delivery. It's a beautiful thing, opening the package to find 12 plaits of 8' long braided Kangaroo hide, topped off with a cowhide fall and a nylon cracker... ahhh, and the smell of leather for days, weeks... beautiful.
But yours is 10' and "medium brown." Mine is "whiskey." But that's alright too.
Enjoy!!!
In Christ,
Shane

Well, now minus an ear and covered with stripes I am still really enjoying the whip. I need plenty of practice to get those ear-splitting cracks consistently, and without slashing myself. The whip is 10 ' NOT INCLUDING THE FALL which is probably another 2' at least w cracker.
Tag still attached you can see the "J.S." for Joe Strain.
And you can see the "comic book Mcfly BTW, I've seen pics of your brandy Stenhouse ... very nice. ... and thanks Moloram.
