Scraps whip - Scrappy

[bearbeast]

This is a project I began in the autumn of 2019... As I am at most an amateur in whipmaking I had a lot of leftover strands, some which resulted from strand resizing, some which were the ends of strands I had cut too long, in order to make sure I don't run out. So I wanted to try to make a whip out of them. The usable strands got me up to the second belly and that's where I left it until two weeks ago.

I had given whipmaking a break due to my tendonitis, but I had always wanted to make a 10 feet whip. This I did, you can see it in my post history. But of course, now I had again a lot of leftover strands and they were JUST enough to make a 10 plait overlay to the scrap whip I had begun 1.65 years ago. Took be about 2 hours to finish it and I decided to dye it black, as I hadn't had a black leather whip up until that point.

Of course it's only a pocket bull, but heavily inspired by Indy's whip. And now for some pics:





It can be coiled reeeally small, so I can take it with me wherever I go.

Nice! Great EDC whip
I always try to use leftover strands of cord in my next whips. In nylon whips it's easier because falls are also made of cord, so shorter strands go there.

Thank you, Tomek!

Yes, for paracord whips it's also nice that you don't alter the width of the strand. So whatever length is left, you're set!
