New 8ft Raiders from EC! Amazing color!!!

Post by ReturningSon »

Picked this whip up fro EC in the bazaar. The price was just soooo good, I couldnt resist. Honestly, this baby has just one of the best natural tan Raiders color I've seen in a while. The overlay is 12 plait natural kangaroo hide. It has two bellies on the inside, one was kangaroo and one was cowhide. Havent cracked it yet but I will...oh..yes...I will... :D

Theres just a slight bit of residue on the butt that I just have to wipe off...

Congratulations on the whip! You said one belly of roo one of cowhide? Do you know if there's any bolsters?

It's going to crack well, it appears. Great taper :)

Thanks guys! As for the bolster, i would assume. Ec stated that he didnt have enough of either hide to make a complete whip so he just used both...

EC whips? Who is that exactly? I think I know who you are talking about but I thought he stopped making whips years ago?
