From falls & poppers to plaiting & cracking technique, this section is dedicated in memory of Sergei, IndyGear Staff Member and Whip Guru. Always remember to keep "Celebratin' Life!"
Things seem a bit glum around here so here is a whip that I was recently commissioned to make for a customer in Canada in the hope that it brightens things up a little. http://www.em-brand-whips.com/bullpics/ ... t-copy.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; The brief was to make a 32 plait bull whip that looked like a diamond back rattle snake. When I first started I thought it would be a breeze but after undoing the whip for the third time found that it wasn't all that easy after all. Live and learn.
PS. Another whip I recently made was a stock whip for the Tasmanian Mountain Cattlemens get together. This has been a yearly event for the past 28 years for which I donate a whip for the junior section of the whip cracking competition. http://www.em-brand-whips.com/stockwhip ... ckwhip.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Bernie you are an artist of the highest order! That diamond back pattern is stunning. I'm not sure why you thought it would be a breeze; nothing about that looks easy to me! Thanks for putting them up.
Bernie,
I have to agree with everyone- I Especially love the rattle snake design! it's a one of a kind, & just beautiful to look at! Hopefully I will have the pleasure of owning one of your works of art in the future- Keep up that amazing work! -T.Rex

Hey Bernie, i didn't know you on this forum, i'm the guy that's been emailing you the past couple weeks
around here so here is a whip that I was recently commissioned to make for a customer in Canada in the hope that it brightens things up a little. 
That is AMAZING work. Making whips like those must have taken forever!
