Indiana Jones Style Nylon Whip

Post by Yoyoyoman35 »

I just finished up an 8ft, 12 plait Indiana Jones style bullwhip in 550 paracord. It has two bellies, a shot loaded core, and an 8 in. handle. What does everyone think? This is only the fourth of fifth whip I've ever made, but I think it's pretty darn good! I know it's not SA but that's not really what I was going for, just a close replica in the same style. Thoughts? Any vets out there with advice on improving? Please, any comments are appreciated!

Thank you!

I'm not specialist in it but that whip looks pretty good.

Looks great! What color is it? It's hard to tell due to the photo filters. How does it crack? :whip:

It's plaited in "tan". Closest I think I could get to the David Morgan look. It cracks really well, I think I'll be putting it up for sale in the Cairo Bazaar!

Well, I don't know if it's just my monitor, a trick of the light, or what - but that baby looks more like it's made from a grainy leather hide. Great look!
