Whip Cracking-One Year Later

[bobm2004]

Hello forum! It was one year ago this last Sunday that I came home with my very first whip, a 14 foot Adam Winrich bull whip. The story goes that I saw Adam at a Renaissance Faire, and a week later saw him again at another one. Fate would have it we struck up a conversation and I became infatuated with the whip. A week later Adam offered me the 14 footer, and a week after that, a year ago this past Sunday, I came home with the 14 footer. One year later I have a small collection of whips, so I thought I would share how an addiction, I mean this hobby, can affect a guy!



1=5'6" Russell Schultz Stock Whip
2=5'6" Russell Schultz Stock Whip
3=7' Terry Jacka Stock Whip
4=6' Terry Jacka Stock Whip





1=6' Russell Schultz Bullwhip
2=8' Adam Winrich Tri-color Bullwhip
3=8' Adam Winrich Indy On A Budget Whip



1=10' Berrnie Wojicki EM Brands Bullwhip
2=10' Bernardo Del Carpio Bullwhip
3=6' Jim Marshall Bullwhip



1=14' Adam Winwrich Bullwhip
2=22' Bob Duke Nylon Whip

And after Adam, the good natured fellow that he is, allowed me to crack one of his fire whips, I plan on making that a present to myself soon!

Well thanks for looking and thanks for all the inspiration COW members! Lets all keep on cracking!!

Awesome collection! I love stockwhips, but that Winrich tri-color bullwhip looks fantastic! Adam, if you're reading....got any more of those for sale?

Seriously, that is a great collection in just one year, and I am highly envious!

Regards,

Thwack!

bob - I think you had it right the first time - "addiction!" Truly a beautiful collection. Once my rich uncle that I've never heard of finally kicks the bucket and leaves me my millions I'll post some pics of my new collection.

Happy cracking,

ryan

Bob, Hard to believe its already been a whole year. Whip cracking can be a pretty addicting hobby, not just for the fun of cracking whips but also for the beauty and workmanship that goes into the whips themselves. You've collected together a great assortment of whips, you should be really proud .

All the best.

Great collection! I don't the have collection you have, but if I don't slow down here, I'm gonna be there soon enough!

How do you like your Bernie Wojckicki whip? I have one, same length. I like it, but MAN it's a heavy whip. I can't wait to get my Del Carpio!

I love the whips...but that router table is awesome...I have the same one. A whip guy and a wood worker.....GREAT!

darrenhenery-I love both my 10 footers!! The EM Brands whip is heavy and accurate! But if you think its heavy just wait to you get your Bernado Del Carpio. I always say if I miss the guy with the whip, I can jack him with the handle-it is like twice as heavy! And it tosses just as easy!! I have been practicing with one in each hand lately!

ohio jones-yes I love wood working, in fact I have made all the furniture in my house as I cannot stand spending money on some of the garbage they sell in stores. If you want you can take a virtual tour of my shop:
