My First Whip

Post by Shorty »

So I received a box from Peru yesterday, and needless to say I'd been looking forward to that box for quite a while. Inside was a gorgeous 8 foot raider's style bullwhip, and it's the last piece of my Indy Gear that I needed. Bernardo's craftmanship is amazing, and I couldn't be more delighted. My only problem is that I have to work when I could be practicing my whip cracking. So kudos to you, Bernardo, for the beautiful whip!

On a side note, does anyone know the best place to start looking for whip tutorials, other than Club Obi-Wan, of course. I had a whip when I was 12, but it seems that I've lost all the prowess I might have had back then. I'll post some pictures of my new whip when I get home later, for those of you interested. :lol:

well even though you beat me to the "worthless without pics" emote, i know what i will be saying when the pics are posted. I am sure this Bernardo whip is just as fantastic and high quality as all the others he made. All the pics I have seen of his whips look awesome. I will assume that yours will be no different. However, I cant wait to see the pics!!!

Thanks for that great review Shorty! :D I'm really happy that you liked your whip. Nothing is more rewarding than having happy customers.

For those who wonder what your Raiders whip looks like, here's a couple of pics I took before shipping it.

Regards,

Bernardo
