Package Day!! Is there anything Better???

Post by bobm2004 »

Hello again forum friends. It is a fine Saturday afternoon here in the Chicagoland area after a monster of a storm on Friday, when I see the postman go up to the door with a package. Could it be for me?? Could it be from forum friend Adam? Well yes indeed it is for me and it is from Adam! What this means is that Adam has completed a custom commission for me, a nice 6 foot bullwhip that is two tone, to match the colors that dominate m Renaissance Faire outfit. I had asked Adam about it at the beginning of the year and with his schedule and work load I am so glad he was able to get it to me before the season opener in a couple of weeks. A very well made piece of craftsmanship, hats off to you Adam! :)

And to make it even better, also in the package was my Russell Schultz bullwhip that matches the pair of stock whips I had been lucky enough to purchase from Adam. This thing is a real beauty and cracks very cleanly and smoothly. This three piece set is just out of this world.

All in all I am having a good day!!! \:D/

If only you had more arms, so you could crack them all at the same time. Congrats on those beautiful whips.

Congrats' Bob!!!

And thanks for sharing the pics. Package day with a new whip is always exciting, and I'm especially jealous of that Schultze bullwhip, it is beautiful. I hope I can get to see it in person one day.

Have fun with them!

Regards,

Beautiful whips!

But I need to stop coming to this forum. It's giving me an itch to have a "package day" in my future. :lol:

I love this hobby, it can be expensive...

Congrats! I like the combination of green and tan. Not that usual, but very interesting.

All the best,

Aldo.

Very nice :tup: Especially that Schultz bullwhip, that is one slick looking whip and a nice compliment piece to the pair of stock whips! You are amassing a pretty serious whip collection :TOH:
