Club Obi Wan

Just recieved my IOAB Winrich whip just now, and wanted to share a pic with you guy's and dolls. It has a very nice feel when holding it , but yet to take it outside for a test drive. Thanks Adam you did a oustanding job,. Thanks again for your understanding. http://tinypic.com/view.html?pic=5lxssp

That is one nice whip. Man, that is a tight braid. Congratulations on a beautiful whip. Adam does excellent work.

I also got my IOAB whip today from Adam and am really pleased with it. Here is a picture of my new whip.

Nice job Adam.

Nice whip jpenman! Have fun cracking it!

I got my IOAB bullwhip a few weeks ago, hopefully I will get around to developing the pictures this week (yeah, I know, get with the times and go digital ).

I was talking with BuffleHead about buying my first whip just the other day but was worried about the cost. I'm now looking into a IOAB whip. Guys please let me know how they crack. I'm a new GearHead and trying to learn things fast...well kinda fast. I'm taking it all in but not sure how much is staying in there

Greg;
In short -it cracks loud with little effort. I'm the owner of a first generation IOAB, though I do believe it is a bit heavier than Adam's new version.
Basically, no one can compete with such a quality whip to such a quality price I think.
And it's a great whip to learn with. Heck, even I could do it.

Greg,

The Indy-on-a-budget bullwhip is made to crack. The IOAB whips that I'm making now taper from the end of the handle all the way to the point with a solid leather core so the whip carries well and cracks easily.

One of the most important thing in making a whip that cracks is having a good taper and weight distribution. Most of the cheaper whips out there are made without a taper using a rope core making them difficult to crack. While the IOAB whip is economical, it's still made to the high standards that I have for all of my work.

Anyone know what type of hide does Adam uses on his IOAB whip?

It's chrome-tanned cowhide that has been oiled at the factory.

Thanks Adam. You should be getting an order from me real soon and i look forward to trying it out.

How can I get a hold of Adam to order a whip?

George

check out his web site www.winrichwhips.com.

Glad to see you made the connection, George. There's a LOT of folks on the board w/ IOABs...but we are too cool to make a list.

(Actually, it's just that none of us can spell. 8-[ )

Congratulations Jpenman - way to go!

My whip is so much fun - I wish I lived in the sticks so I could practice more with it.

Congrats to DavieM as well.

Have Fun,

Can someone post more pics of the IOAB, I have two on order and am getting 'whip envy'

Cheers.

WOW! That deerhide whip looks great!

How does deerhide handle, and is it easy to work with?

Deerhide whips handle nice, but working with deerhide is not easy. I'd say it's harder than working with cowhide and kangaroo hide combined (probably worse than that, actually). So if you're thinking about making a whip, start with cowhide.
