Re: Joe Strain Standard Production Indy Whip (3 years old)
Awesome whip, Michael!
It's been said many times before, you can't go wrong with a Strain!
That whip, along with ALL of you other gear, is lookin' GOOD!

Re: Joe Strain Standard Production Indy Whip (3 years old)
Nice, I like how well it darkened up, you got the best of both worlds, first getting the nice "new" indy natural look, now enjoying
the "aged" indy look that you see in tlc or something like it.

Re: Joe Strain Standard Production Indy Whip (3 years old)
There's something very beautiful about a naturally aged, well used natural tan bullwhip. Very, very Indy.
And of course, Joe's whips are top notch!!! Although every whip i make is an homage to David Morgan's classic design ( I don't make any other kinds of whip) - Joe's is the level of craftmanship to which I always aspire!

What hat were you wearing then? Looks great!
Re: Joe Strain Standard Production Indy Whip (3 years old)
Thanks, Michael! That whip has aged beautifully! The color is just identical to the Morgan that Lee Kepler first sent me in the late 80's to look at. I thought that Morgan was the most beautiful whip I'd ever seen. Anyway, I'm happy you are enjoying it. You have some great gear there and pull off the Indy look very well.

I would be right now, but my neighbor ( land owner and friend ) let me know today that each crack really bother's her, and out ofgeneralFROSTY wrote:Awesome photo!

the kindness of my heart i'm not going to crack while she is home, and she is home 90% of the day, and it's killing me
I really wanted to be out cracking right now, but i suppose this will give me more time to work on making whips...

Re: Joe Strain Standard Production Indy Whip (3 years old)
My neighbor poked his head outside one day and gave me the evil eye while I was practicing. Since it was early in the day and I was on my own property, I kind of glared back at him, gave a loud crack and thought to myself "Go ahead...come over here and say something..."

Joe's whips are unstoppable, here is mine from 2007
It still looks the same as the day I got it from a fellow COW member.
The hitch is still stiff and tight as a drum!
Thanks Joe ,
Allen

Hi Michael and thanks!Tundrarider wrote:Beautiful whip, Allen!
What was the original color and what has been done with it since? It has a really nice deep hue.
Thanks for posting!
Michael
The color is "brandy" but, in the right light it looks kind of like "whiskey" also. Nothing has changed since the pic I posted, still has the same popper on it . Still tight and LOUD!
