new bullwhip

Post by deadringer »

G'day all,
here's a pic of a kotcs style bullwhip Chris has just finished ... he's been talking about making one for a while now .. thought you fellas would be interested in seeing the finished piece .

she rolls out beautifully + makes a fair amount of noise ... 12 plait in Saddle Tan ( which was a darker hide) with Brandy knots .

keep 'em crackin'

G'day all
If you are interested Chris has just done some updates on the website with quite a few different whips, you can take a look at them here http://www.deadringer.com.au/album/leather_gallery.html

Wow, it is 8 inches, the image makes it look a bit longer. Its a pretty sweet looking bullwhip though and i see its for sale :-k hehehe

Thanks for posting the link to the new photos too, I am drooling over them. Chris does amazing work, Hopefully i'll get to add a few of his bullwhips and stock whips to my collection.

All the best.

Dan
