They look awesome Robert! I assume these are the two you were telling me about. I'm drooling... so how is my 10 footer coming along "wink-wink"

Best Regards, Brett

I'm about half way thru an 8 foot saddle tan Indy, then your 10 footer is next.

Robert,
the pair looks just like a set of joe strains,
every time i see one of your whips they look
better and better. Keep doing what your doing,
cause i really love your work. And thanks for
all the help you have given me in whipmaking.
Maybe you should try making nylon whips to?

Thanks Mola for the compliments.

It's kind of hard to stop what I am doing. It's a fulltime job. The orders come in so fast, I am never caught up. I was a bit surprised by the order for a pair of 8s. What made it more unusual was that it was for a lady.

I cannot even think if time when I'd make a nylon. I suppose I could advertise them and then take orders for them, but I really like working with kangaroo as I say in my signature.

I have been wanting a pair of nylon bullwhips by Steve Koliski of 21st Century Whips. I saw a pair that Riz (of Tampa) had in Dallas. They handled really nice, and I liked the neon color. They would look very good under a black light in a show. Only thing I wanted to change was the handle length. When working two whips in a freestyle routine like I do, I prefer a longer handle (about 16").

What I don't see among whipmakers is switching from roo to nylon. Usually once you are a nylon whipmaker, forever you will be and likewise with kangaroo. I don't know of one whipmaker that switches between the two. I love making kangaroo bullwhips with a passion!

Hi Robert: I went to both sites and came up with a page cannot be displayed screen. Has something crashed or could it be just my server. I would really like to see your handiwork.

Warm Regards

I just checked both the website and the link I posted. Both came right up.

Don't know what might've happened. Here's the picture anyway.

I'm getting a "failed attempt" as well, and the photo above is the infamous red circle X. Something's either fishy server-side, or you've passed your allotted viewability for your site.

That's odd guys. I just checked again, and also asked my wife to check and it came right up for both of us.

So it it your server-side?

Robert,
Tim bass makes nylon and leather whips and does
a good job at bolth. I love making leather whips
and nylon whips. Nylon has a use anytime, any
season in water & snow use. But it cant be made larger
and if its cut you cant really undo the cut if you made a mistake.
Leather can me made diffrent sizes and have diffrent things done to it.
Both materials are great and i love making whips with each material.
I understand what you mean by switching back and forth and such.
I dont have enough time & money to make leather whips that often,
so thats why i started using nylon most of the time. I can make a nylon whip in 2 school weeks but a leather whip in a school month. And on vacation i can make a nylon whip in 2 days and a leather thong for
a stockwhip in a week. School takes up lots of time and nylon is
just easier to use in my limited time.

Pictures work great for me. Could be a dns problem with your ISP, Mike.
