At the risk of over-exposure (or over-promotion ) I wanted to post a pic of an Indy whip I just finished. It's 8 ft, 12-plait kangaroo, with a slightly tapering handle.
Usually when I'm asked about kangaroo Indy whips, I am given a lot of measurements and/or photos and told 'make me THAT whip.' This customer just told me to make him an 8 ft whip and he wasn't specific about dimensions or anything, so I took the opportunity to study my collection of photos and measurements and put that information into a whip.
For prices or more information, please see my website or send me an email.
Very nice Adam, you did a good job on that bullwhip. I like the way the tapered handle turned out and the turks knot. Did you end up putting any varnish on it or are you leaving it natural?
Thanks for the compliment. I will not be putting any shellac on this whip. Lately I've been staying away from shellac, though I'll probably start putting a finish on some of my whips once I get my hands on a spray-on leather sheen. Paul Nolan uses the stuff and it's is more durable and doesn't crack and flake like shellac.
Adam, nice job as always. About that spray-on stuff....I recently heard there was something like that. Can you let me know what exactly is the name for it? I'd be curious to see how it works also. Thanks.
Wow, this whip looks really nice. I held on of your whips in my hand once and it was perfectly braided. You did a very good job on this handle especcialy, well done!
