Big Indy whip

Post by purewhips »

On this is a special and big whip. The handle is 1" thick!! I made it on an 11in handle instead of the 8in. But I put the ring knot on the 8in to make it look Indy. Here are some pics, hope you like it. :)

Whip almost stands by itself.

Yeah I see the handle darkness. That will be matched by the rest of the whip soon.

8ft? Did you used a additional bolster to increase the diameter?

Hey, the one I got from ya sounds like a shotgun! Now that it's broken in I can make it sound like that or with very little power it just pops like a .22 :whip:

Hey Aldo thanks!

Noah it sure does. My wife asked me if I had shot my gun. :D

John your whip if very nicely balanced. Crack it!

Tomek9210 yes I used an extra bolster to girth it up a bit. But I also re-enforced the handle thong junction at every layer about 5 in out and the last one was 6in. Very mean whip. It is 8ft long.

Sorry about the long delay in the reply. Been a little busy with work again.
