...gettin' an Indy bullwhip made by Joe Strain? I've looked here for a link to his site or other info, but I can't seem find it. If anyone who has recently ordered one could tell me the best way to find out his pricing and contact information and how long it takes to get one made I would greatly appreciate the help. I received some money for x-mas and I'm deciding whether to get a Strain whip or a .45 ACP. Thanks... Best Regards, Brett

Oh yeah I almost forgot if someone out there has a Strain whip they might want to sell let me know I may be interested in taking it off your hands.

Thanks Mola! That's what I was looking for

Hi Brett,

I have a New Joe Strain Stock Whip for sale if you're interested, but I don't have any Joe Strain Indy's on hand that are up for sale. Let me know if you are interested, either way, joe does excellent work.

Brett, Just Follow the link, the best way to find out about prices is to ask Joe, he is more then happy to answer any questions you have. As for how long it takes to get one made, the last one I ordered from him about a month ago took less then two weeks to get to my door.

If your having trouble deciding, I’ll say this Joe Strains work is very very impressive, you won’t go wrong with one of his bullwhips.

Thanks guys, I have made up my mind and decided to obtain one of Joe's fantastic Indy whips I have emailed him and we have it all worked out. My whip should be here in the next week or so. Again thanks for all the help!

Wow. Something like that only takes a week to make?

I would have thought the process would take longer with something like that.


I want to order one of Joe's Indy whips too but I just found out through the grapevine that my company is being bought out by another and everyone and I do mean EVERYONE there is going to be let go shortly. So I'm going to have to put my whip on hold until I know for certain how I'm going to pay for it.

Yeah Joe said he could get to it this week and ship it out next week. Very sorry to hear about your work situation Pitfall... I may have a whip for sale here inna week or 2 After I get my Joe Strain.

Actually Pitfall, most whipmakers will knock out a whip like that in 8 to 12 hours. Mike Murphy once told me that he can do 2 to 3 in a day if he really gets himself going!

Well Joe shipped my whip out this morning so it should be arriving in a couple days maybe the begining of next week. Joe said it turned out great and that the dimensions on this whip are very accurate! My excitment level increases. I'll keep y'all posted.

I received my 10 footer saddle tan Indy whip from Joe today. It is fantastic a beautiful work of art. I love it! I'll try and get some photos posted ASAP maybe even later tonight. Thanks guys for all your help.

Here are some quick photos of the whip...



enjoy... the bottom photo is the new JS whip and my 3 year old Robert Duke 10 footer.

Here is a close-up of the handle as well...

Nice photos and great whip, congratulations. I knew you would not be disappointedly.

You know i been on IndyGear since the site fist opened and i still haven't figured out how to post pictures directly on the form. All the best

Dan

Yea still figurin' it out myself...I've been using imageshack. Seems to work? I was definitely not disappointed in that whip at all.It's great!

Well I finally I figured out how to post my own avatar, I guess that’s progress

After seeing your Joe Strain whip I decided to order one myself.

This is not just a whip this is a highly crafted piece of art.


10 Foot 12 Plait.

Wow....


That's a great looking whip. I can't wait to get my hands on one. Is that color Saddle tan?

I'm hoping I can get one and get it in Natural Tan but I'll settle for Saddle if they don't have Natural.



Pitfall

It was listed as Medium Brown, but it looks saddle tan to me.

My Strain is the saddle tan color...it's really a beautiful color too.

Great looking Bullwhip G-MANN, Congrats. Did You get it from Western Stage Props?

Dan

Yes sir, I got it frop WSP. Thanks

I still can't beleive how well made it is.

Did you just order it from the site directly or did you call them and request that Joe Strain make your whip?



Pitfall

I would recommend to just ordering it directly from Joe himself...He was great to talk too and will answer any questions that you may have.

Mine was ordered directly from WSP. They had it in stock and shipped the same day.
