Pair of long handled Indys
Posted: Sat Dec 15, 2007 12:13 pm
Hey all,
I few days ago I finished these semi-matched pair of custom Indysh bullwhips for a customer/friend in Canada. He specified 12 inch handles, made with the same heavy spike as the regular Indy whips, so they feel heavy, but they look shorter than 12" because the ring knots are located at the 10 inch mark. This reduces the visual length of the handles nicely, in my opinion. They also have extra long wrist loops, 7 part 6 bight knots on the knobs, and slightly darker ring knots.
These whips kind of resemble the long handled whips that Mr. Morgan used to offer some years ago.
And I said they are semi-matched because the only difference between them is the strand width in the overlay. One of them has slightly wider strands for a more Morganesque look. Not that is readily noticiable in these pics though...
Anyway, it was a very interesting project, and I'm quite please of how they turned out. Hope you like them!
