Louie's KotCS Bullwhip
Here's my try at a KotCS bullwhip. It's 8 foot 12 plait in whiskey and brandy kangaroo.
It's got a longer transition from the handle to thong giving it that Jacka look.

Thanks for the compliment. I made it over several days. If I had to guess I'd say it took about 7-8 hours total.

I was going for the general look, not a perfect match. It was a fun project to do. this whip has a heavily bound transition, my next project is going to be the same with but without the bound tranny, so more like a bullwhip I would normally make, but with this look.

I was looking at the shapes of the butt in pictures of other people's Indy KotCS whips and some of the movie pictures and I think the butt shape on mine is more "can" shaped instead of a slightly "diamond shaped can" shape.
Also I'm amazed that I managed to basically use the word "Shape" five times in the above run on sentence.

Lauren,
the whip cracks like a champ! due to the weather and my performing schedule I didn't get a lot of time to test crack it, but the few I did on my deck were great. The thing practically cracked itself.
I just picked up a heavy natural hide from morgan's shop (I missed him by about 5 mins, so I didn't get to chat with him) but I've not an 8 foot indy style in my que, and I hope it looks as good as you last ones.
