A couple of recent whips
Hi folks, thought I'd share some pics of a coupe of whips I recently finished. The natural tan is 10ft with wide cut strands and the saddle tan is 8ft with narrower strands. I'm particularly pleased with the saddle tan- it made a nice change from working in natural tan the whole time. The third whip in the last pic is my '92 Morgan

Thanks for nice comments everyone
Yes, they're both roohide - I don't work in cowhide. I used to get hides from David Morgan but now I get them from a guy in Australia.PyramidBlaster wrote:Nice looking whips! All these 'Roo?
Where are you getting your hides from? That saddle tan looks really, really nice.....
Oh man those are Beautiful, and I love the shape of the butt knots.Thank you all very much. Most of my whips are made in homage to David Morgan, but with the saddle tan I wanted to do something more like a Joe Strain - not quite such wide stands and a generally neater look than Morgan's. I'm very pleased with them both and have been busy annoying my neighbours with them.
