My whips

Post by whiskyman »

I only make one in a blue moon these days, but I loved making Indy bullwhips - made quite a few for quite a few members past and present.
Here are a couple of pics of the three I kept for myself. 2 8fts and a 10ft.

How old are they? Do you crack them sometimes?

More front photos would be nice :CR:

Well in the last pic, I'd say 12 years, 8 years and 1 year.
I used to crack them, these days not so much. The newest one, an 8ft, has only been test cracked a couple of times. The others are fairly broken in.

They look great! How did you get that "worn in" look with the one you only cracked a few times?

Very nice whips, they look gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!

This section is missing photo posts, or posts in general!

Cheers,
