2 new whips

Post by whiskyman »

It's been a while since I last posted here!! Anyway I thought I would share a couple of whips. A friend from the forum kindly asked whether i would consider doing a Catwoman whip for a friend of his - I could hardly refuse a personal phone call from Denmark! In addition to the black roohide, I ordered some saddle tan to make the order worth while. I thought I would offer some cheap special offer 8fts, but with no takers I decided to make myself a 10ft. I must admit, having not done any whipmaking for about a year, it was pretty hard on the hands!!
Anyway, here they both are: My version of a Catwoman style whip, and my version of a 10ft Raiders in saddle tan (along with my 18month 8ft also in saddle tan). Actually, the 10ft hasn't yet been given a coat of shellac.

Beautiful whips! That catwoman whip is 8ft with 12" handle, am I right?
I love your 8ft, have you got some others pics of it?

I said "wow" out loud as I scrolled down to see the pictures. I love that saddle tan one especially!

Thanks for the kind comments. Here's one more pic now that I've added some shellac.

Whiskeyman-you just have to keep teasing me with pictures of that saddle tan whip don't you? I really like the color of that one and it looks like you really made a good whip. Too bad your keeping it for yourself, it would great in my collection!
