It's been a while since I've posted anything much, mostly because I've been tied up making whips for a TV company in Germany. However, I finally found time to make myself an early birthday present.
I made this 10ft whip from the last of my Morgan hides and I tried to make as close a copy of my '92 Morgan as possible. Of all the whips I've owned, this Morgan is my absolute favourite - the weight, balance, taper, handle length..are all exactly how I like them. Of course, I want to look after this whip which is why I wanted to make a copy that I can beat the #### out of!!
I managed to get pretty close too - the dimensions are almost exactly the same. Only the butt is a little smaller and I may actually redo it. Now for some pics (not the best quality I'm afraid, but never mind).

Very Nice. As you said, the knot is a little off shape compared to Davids, If your going for an identical match you might want to round it out a bit more, but otherwise your bullwhip looks really good.
By the way, a few of your images exceed the Fourms 640x480 pixels and 50kb rule, viewtopic.php?t=9523
I’m not too worried about the ones that are a bit over, but if you get a chance please resize the larger ones so they don't get deleted. Thanks
