Package Day-the best day
In addition to playing with Adam's big whip, I also took position and received two new whips for the collection. The first is a whip made by Adam from me so that I had a great whip to play with in the snow, a 6 foot stock whip out of black nylon. Snow be darned I can now crack year round!!

I am jealous. And you are right. I'm okay with it.
I love Joe's whips. He recently made me a pair of matched 4' whips. (I will post pics as soon as I can get a nice sunny day to take some nice photos). They are brandy with the same color detail on the Turkshead. Though one with red and one with yellow. I thought he was going to make the ringknots match, like yours, but he thought I wanted it Aussie style, so he left it off. I'm debating whether or not to send them back to him to change it to make it like yours. I like the way your whip looks a lot! It's beautiful.
My next order from Joe is going to be a matched pair of 6 footers, possibly black, much like yours!
Great whip. Joe is truly a master.
