3 New Raiders Style Indy Whips with Morgan Comparison Pics!

Post by midwestwhips »

Hi All,

I just finished up 3 new Indy whips with the full 8 inch handles, wide cut strands, and David Morgan Style knots.

I also took some pictures of them along with my two Morgans(an 8 foot and 10 foot), so you can see the similarities in Diameter of the thong, and knot comparisons.

I hope you enjoy the pics, I'm pretty proud of how these turned out. I spent extra time on getting the knots to look as Morgan Styled as possible.

Regards,

Great work as always Paul. You really nailed the look of the knots on those three. Thanks for sharing those pictures with us.

Great looking whips Paul! You really nailed down the shape and look of the Morgan knots. It seems that the extra work paid off :-)

Those look exactly like each other (expect in color of course) Wow! PLEASE share pics of these whips once they have been broken in. I'd love to see how they've progressed.

Okay, so one of them is a six footer. Are the other two 12 footers?

Thanks for the compliments, I really tried to get the knots as close to the Morgans as I could.

There are two 10 foots, and the other is a 6 foot. In the first two pictures the one on top is the 6 foot. The third picture the 6 foot is on the far left. The 4th and 5th picture, the 6 foot is the handle in the middle.

The 10 foots have already been shipped off to California to their new owner. He specifically asked for thin tapering handles, and morgan style knots.

The 6 foot I made for fun, and is available and in the classified section right now. It is the only Indy whip I will have in stock and ready to ship this month with the added holiday discount on top of the COW discount.

After doing these three knots in a row, I feel much more comfortable with getting that Morgan shape and look. I am really satisfied with how they turned out.

As for color they are a little light, as brand new natural tans usually are, but they will darken very quickly and quite nicely. The 6 foot has already darkened a bit, and I'm sure the two 10 foots will darken quickly being in California.

Also, I think the pictures with the flash might make them look a little bit lighter than they are. Here is a picture of the 10 foots packaged up without the flash, and they look a bit darker:

Hi Vegeta,

Thanks! The retail price for a 10 footer with those same specifications is $500, and after the COW discount the price is $455 but if you place the order before the end of the month you can get the COW discount along with the holiday discount, making your price before shipping $430. If you would like more details just shoot me an email to whipmaker@midwestwhips.com or PM me.
