Club Obi Wan

Here's a pic of an 8-plait cowhide bullwhip I just finished. I really liked the looks of it, so I thought I'd post a pic.

Also, I have increased some of my cowhide prices. 8-plait whips are now $20 per foot and 12-plait cowhide whips are $25 per foot. Actually, I only get about one order a month for 8- or 12-plait cowhide whips, so I don't see this causing an uproar.

Nice, Adam. What's the weight on that cowhide, about 3.5 oz?

Jim

hehe still glad i got mine before the price increase...that one looks the same color as the 8 plait steel core you made me. very nice

Hey Jim,

I think this stuff was about 5 oz. With the ring knot, I split the leather down to make it a little smaller.

Adam,

The whip arrived today. I must say it has a much heavier feel to it than I thought it would! Very nice! Thanks!

Mark

Looks good Adam, did you darken the handle or is it just the pic?

Best,
Herr Jones

You make an absolutely beautiful whip, Adam.

Beautiful whip my friend. You know, you're only about 2 hours and just over 100 miles East of me here in Mpls. We have to hook up one of these times.

The handle is a little darker. I usually end up cutting out the handle from close to where the neck would be on the cow, and that leather tends to be a littler darker as it takes in a touch more oil. Kind of gives it a nice used look without having ever been used.

Minnesota,

I come over to the Cities about every Thursday to go swing dancing at the Tapestry. The dance starts about 10, so any Thursday you want to hang out, just let me know and I'll come over early.

How come I live in Mpls and have never heard of the Tapestry? Sheesh, shows how little my wife and I go out.

Great whip (as always), Adam. You are a true craftsman.

Is that Tapestry Folkdance Center at 3748 Minnehaha Ave in Mpls?

You bet it is!

I hope to go dancing this Thursday, and Friday morning take a train down to Chicago with some friends of mine to see the King Tut exhibit at the Field Museum.

Check and see if the lions from the movie the Ghost and the Darkness are still on display.

Have a good trip.

Speaking of pretty 8-plaiters.
Adam... This 10-footer goes 'kaboom' with no effort, and will smoke your socks off!

Got a DivX?

Nothing yet buddy. It didn't make it on "Rawhide" and it's raining outside.
I'll get a tripod and my camera out as soon as I find the time.
