Hi everyone,

Hope everything is well in your world of whips! Here's the newest 9' x 16 plait I've made. I love this length, it has a nice flow like most long whips but still fast and short enough to do multiple cracking routines with. Please let me know what you think!

Top notch work Chel, just like all of your whips that I've seen.
10" handle on this one?

Chel, that is gorgeous! Look at that plaiting, and perfect taper! Have you made a youtube demo with this one? Again, excellent work!

Stunning!

Is that a raw hide ring knot?

Chel,
That is a fantastic beast! The tightness of the braids is just amazing!

The pattern on the handle reminds me Peter Jack's signature pattern, he usually does large checkerboard with 4 strands and then switches to another pattern.
Smooth braiding and strands themselves remind me the work of Chris Barr.
Keep up with great work! Your whips are just awesome

Thanks you all for your positive feedback! I'm working on a Indy whip now, can't wait to show you!

Nice, smoothly polished surface, tight, even plaiting and very even strands. It looks great. I like the combination of patterns and colors.

Congrats on your work!

Keep 'em coming.

:D:D

Thanks to everyone that has recently given me feedback on this whip. Much appreciated! It has been sold to a buyer in Germany. A lot of my whips have gone to the U.K and Europe for some reason. I'm guessing that it's because the American market is more into the Indy whips rather than Target whips? On this not currently working on a Indy whip which I can't wait to show you all when it's finished.

Have a good one!
