Nice whip - any reason for doing it 8 plait?
That's a fine collection too - how about a rundown on the whips pictured?

Thanks for the comments, I was going to do this 5 foot whip in 12 plait but I have a bunch of 12 plait whips and I only have one 8 plait and its made of cow hide so I wanted to make one out of Kangaroo leather. I think it turned out rather well.

Nammann, Nice looking bullwhip and great collection too!

I really like the look of the bullwhips you’ve been making. Who made the stock whip in the picture?

Thanks, the stock whip in the picture came as a kit when I first started learning how to braid leather so I stuck it in there too.

Very nice Nammann, Thanks. Did you get the stockwhip kit form Mike Murphy or Peter Jack, or some one else? I made one of Mike's kits and have been thinking about doing another soon.

Dan,

I purchased the stock whip kit from Mike Murphy thats how I got started making whips, a wise man told me that if I want to make whips start off with making a stock whip so I did and now I am pretty good at making whips. I would like to purchase another one also, It should be pretty easy for me now since I know what to do with all the materials. This is the one thing that I really enjoy doing in my spare time, I'm addicted, I can't stop now, LOL
