Three whips

Post by JMObi »

:D There would be 4 pics here but I can't work out how to post them. Two photos are of Bernardo's 10' Raiders whip, one is of the David Morgan bullwhip 455 made by Meagan, and the other I made in '85.

That is nothing less than magnificent craftsmanship at its finest, I know I don't even have to ask how it throws and cracks :D .


I'm also looking forward to the other photo's



Cheers.

Thanks everyone! Cracker, thank you for your compliment. It must be the first Indy type bullwhip ever made in Australia as far as I know. There were a few I made that preceded it, using the same steel handle. I would unplait them and start all over again. I was self-taught, with a bit of help from an early Ron Edwards book. Thank you Ron.
