Steranko Inspired Indy Whip

Post by bearbeast »

Last weekend I managed to finish my latest whip. Whipwarrior's new Zorro whip made me wish for a short black bullwhip.

So I tried to combine this new wish with my Indy passion and decided to make a Jim Steranko inspired bullwhip. From the picture it seems to be black, a bit thicker than usual, long handle and without a wrist loop.

So here is the outcome:

A few specs for the whip:

- 6 feet long, 24 plait overlay
- 2 bellies, 2 bolsters
- 6 point fall hitch
- handle about 14 inches long

Thank for looking,
Bear
