2007 Sydney Show Whip
Hi Everyone
Thought you might be interested to see a whip I made for this years Sydney Royal Easter Show in the stockwhip section. It is a 7ft 24plait thong, with a 32plait handle. I spent between 40-50hrs on it. On the handle the strands started off at around 1mm in width.
Paul N. Your website looks really good. I want to see a whip of yours in the Sydney Show one day.
Kind Regards
Simon

Thanks! I hope to get a whip made for an upcoming Sydney Show. It would be fun just to attend, and see everyone's work.Simon Martin wrote: Paul N. Your website looks really good. I want to see a whip of yours in the Sydney Show one day.

Thanks everyone for all your compliments. Dan, unfortuantly I didn't get the time to do a bullwhip this year. The results for the comp were as follows:
1st- My stockwhip. I'm not sure, but I may be the youngest whipmaker to have ever won the Sydney Show.
2nd-Bill Glasgow from Toowoomba, QLD
3rd-Peter Ellis from Cooroy QLD
Kind Regards
Simon

Congrats Simon very nice looking whip . We didn't send anything down this year after Sydney Royals packing methods damaged the pendant that Kerri made last year which cost $400 to get fixed... ..
I really like the 2 tone grape vine on the handle and your pattern work is very striking ..Keep up the great work.
Paul sorry but you won't be able to enter Sydney show as they stipulate that it is for Aussie residents only.But you can send something over for the Glenn Innes comp which is in November you will be welcomed with open arms there ..
Well done Simon
Cheers

Simon,
Congrats'!!! I knew you would do well. Great Job!!!
That is too bad, but no worries. I will definitely shoot for entering something for the Glenn Innes competition! Are there any specifics for entering a whip? Do they accept Bullwhips and/or Stockwhips, do they have a specific length or plait number minimum. Does it matter if it is two tone or a solid color? Anything else I might not be thinking of?

Paul Nolan

Hi Paul
The only specific for the Glenn Innes comp is it must be a stockwhip...
2 toned work is looked upon more favourable than single colour work ,length and string count is at your own discretion..
The organisers of the comp are looking to make this bigger and better every year. last year there were about 40 whips in 3 different classes .
At present there is no bullwhip class but this could change in the future as sponsorship for the event grows they will look to add more classes ..
Any overseas support will would be most welcome .
Cheers

Chris, I really appreciate your compliments, thankyou. It is a real shame that you didn't enter at Sydney. However if they weren't careful with your gear I don't blame you.
Sorry Paul, I didn't realize that you couldn't enter at Sydney. Glen Innes probably has more prestige here in Australia anyhow.
Kind Regards
Simon
