Thanks for the compliments guys :whip: Just normal binding in this one. I always make the nylon whips very stiff.

Like I said, Your nylon plaiting kung fu is good!!! Have you ever done a Zorro whip with the conchos, and all?

I can kinda do it, but nowhere as nice as most of you can. I also have a problem with keeping it on the whip... Hahaha! For some reason, it won't stay on the butt.

Before I just used electrical tape. I'm toying with the idea of using some epoxy putty (the same one I used to sculpt my staff of ra headpiece) as the base and shaping it into a nice round shape.

I used that on my 3.5' whip, but as the butt itself, no turks head knot... painted it a mahogany color to match the dark brown color of the whip. It actually looks like wood when I was done.

You've got hands of steel my friend.

I missed your "latest whip" posts when you were gone.

Good to see you're back. :tup:
