Interesting. The strands don't taper - I don't think I've seen that in an Indy whip before. Looks pretty robust, I wonder how it'll handle.

I've had one for over 5 years now and it cracks really well...
Measurements have been taken from a Morgan whip and once conditioned it takes on a beutiful bllilliant orange..
It has also weathered extremely well with no discernable difference to the Morgan..at much less cost too..

Thanks for the compliments. Troy did a awesome job on the whip. I would recomend him to anyone. I can't wait till it arrives.

Good eye, Whiskeyman! :tup: Even though the individual strands may not taper, the thong itself obviously does, which is the main thing, I believe. I'm sure it handles nice. :) Congrats Garlando & Astro.

A really nice looking Indy whip greatgarlando, by the looks of it, I'd say it'll crack like a cannon,
enjoy it.

Congratulations on getting your new bullwhip. Glad to hear your experience with Whips Tasmania was a good one. It is a very nice looking whip; from the photos the plaiting looks very smooth and tight. Keep us posted how it cracks as you break it in. Also

Troy does beautiful work at a very resonable price. He is also a very responsive and pleasant person to do business with.
