First post, first try at a whip....

Post by justanuthercap »

Hey all, thought I'd start off my time here by showing my first attempt at a bullwhip. For now, it's just going to be a 6'er, made from kip. If it turns out even a little decent, I'll move on to a 10' eventually. Well, without further delay... here it is... help/criticism is always appreciated.

Wear leather, core, first belley and first bolster done.
