my bullwhips
Hey everyone, I'm new to the place and still have a lot of reading to do. There are so many pages of good whip info and great pictures I still need to check out.
I thought I'd post a couple pics of some of my work, let me know what you guys think. I'm always looking for constructive criticism, so please don't be shy
this is a 7 footer in 20 plait (3 bellies)
5 foot black & purple 16 plait (2 bellies)
6 footer in 16 plait with a little fancy plaiting on the handle (unfortunately my lack of photog skills make the handle pattern a little hard to see)

Re: my bullwhips
I was wrong, after looking at your pictures again I think you are doing "exceptional" work

Beautiful work StoneMan!
I can't see a lump, bump or crooked seam in the lot!
Love that black and purple 5 footer (specifically the diamond patterned handle.)
Now, get back in there and keep plaiting!!

Re: my bullwhips
Hey stonman good to see you made it over from the JD
I had stoneman make me a custom 7 foot target whip a few months ago heres a pic
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
and out of all the whips i own roo kip or nylon his whip is the best one of all of them i had him build it as close to the jacka-delongis style as he could and it handles like a greased snake.
I had stoneman make the whip with a transition like terry jacka uses and this whip will put the tip right where i point it like a lazer and it is the fastest whip i own i can do multiple throws with both hands and it cracks without putting any power behind the throws but when i do power it KABOOM it sounds like a shotgun going off .
i have to say that stoneman knows what he is doing when it comes to building a whip and anybody that orders a whip off of him will not only get a whip that they can be proud of but he is a good and honest man the deal with and i will be ordering more off of him in the future.

Re: my bullwhips
thanks for the kind words
I was wondering how that one was holding up, it was the first one I did with the stiff transition running out so far. I'm glad to hear you're still enjoying it!
happy cracking

Re: my bullwhips
Great job on all whips Stoneman! I've seen your videos on YT too. Do you have website?
Re: my bullwhips
thanks, Tomek. I do have a domain purchased, but I still have to get around to finding someone to build a site on it for me. Hopefully there will be a White North Whips website up and running by the end of January or shortly after.
