And here's another shot of the same whips along with a Morgan:

Both WSP Cowhide Indy's are 8 footers. Hope you like them ,

Nice whips Bernardodc! The DM is in the middle, right?

Oh yes, of course, the DM is in the middle! (also an 8 footer)

Thanks,

They certainly look nice, Bernardo. There's no doubt that they're patterned after a Morgan.

Those are awesome!!! I've gotta get a 10 footer now

Bernardodc,
Thanks for posting this! I've been hoping someone would get one of these and post better pics. How do they compare to your Morgan quality/perfomance wise? I've had my eye on this whip ever since it became available. I've been wanting to get away from 'roohide for a long time and I really like the look of these.

bernardodc, where did you buy the cowhide whips?

Yes, please post your thoughs on the performance. They look good, though I'd like to see more plaits. I saw they had 12 plait but it had a long handle. (but was cheaper with more plaits!?)

Shawnkara,

I went to the park this afternoon to try them out, and they handle very well. They are on the heavy side, but also have a heavy handle, just like a Morgan bullwhip, so they are well balanced, which means that you don't really feel all the weight out there.

I put both whips on a digital scale and they weight almost exactly the same as my latest Morgan. My first Morgan is a little bit lighter, though.

IndyDoc,

The reason why the WSP 12 plait cowhide is cheaper than the 8 plait, is because they are completely different whips, made by different whipmakers. Construction, style and action are different. The 12 plait has a longer, lighter handle (australian style).


Glad you liked them,

Bernardo

I'm the whipmaker!

For figuring that out, you've won a braided key lanyard

Sen me a PM with your address.

Thanks for the kind words.

Bernardo

oh well.

I was going to say that before actually.
They look wonderful. I keep wondering, where do you get that
cow? it always looks really nice.

Next time Adam

When I launch my website I'm going to give a whip for free. To win, you'll have to figure out what's unique or different about it.

The cowhide I use is made under my specs by a local tannery, right here in Arequipa, Peru. I pick only the best hides for my whips.

Regards,

Bernardo

Well,

Just my luck anyway.

I can make one my self though, better for someone who cant to get it.

You have a few PM's Bernardo.

Regards!

Adam

When are you going to launch your site? I guess you'll announce it on COW when you do.
