Hi Guys
These are 2 whips made recently by me.
Both whips were made for a friend of mine, which is also a new member of the Cow.
He has a great collection of whips made from great whipmaker such as David Morgan, Joe Strain, Bernardo del Carpio, Terry Jacka, Page, Luie Fox.
I apologize if I have forgotten other important whipmaker.
Whips are exceptional, do with the whip cracking whips of John is a beauty, I also tried on wet ground and seems not to hear the difference.
Thanks John, for my part I can be considered among the best whip makers in the world.
Now I'm waiting for a Bernie whip and Schultz whip, then I will show my whole collection.
Thanks Emanuele
You are very kind and I appreciate your compliments but I know that I have to learn many things in the world of whipmaking.
When I build my whips I always learn something.
Regards

Dear JP,
thanks for the compliments about my whips.
The handle of the stock whip is 50cm long ( 19.685'' ).
For the handle of the stock whip I use a metal bar that I clothe of varied layers of bolsters in order to give right weight and tapered shape.
About the handle of the young whip I not dye the leather but I use two different skins:
one for the handle and one for the thong of the whip.
I hope that my explanation was clear for you.
Thanks for your interest
Gio
