Second Kangaroo Whip w/ photos

Post by mlawson »

Here is my second kangaroo whip, a 9' Indy style. I just finished it last night and gave it a few cracks today. The first kangaroo whip that I made a few weeks ago turned out well, but I thought that the thong was a little light, so I beefed this one up a bit, I think it's better. It's definitely my best to date.

Here's one of the handle:

Thanks! The I'm pretty pleased with the shape and size of the turkshead, the last one I did was just slightly larger than I wanted.

Nice :) very nice. Good shape of TH, nice straight plait at beggining, fine taper :).

There are few mistakes with lace width but practice make master :D.
