Thank you. This was a one-off for a friend. It actually cracks - though not very loudly.

Good job! There is nothing easy about miniatures. Here is one that is a few years old. This one is 12 plait. The 8 plait point is just under 1/8" in diameter.

Now THOSE are pocket bulls! Like... shirt-pocket bulls!
And good LORD, Joe! That's fantastic! Even the cracker is minature... lol look how tightly wound it is!
Pagey, yours is also very good - and it is your first miniature, right? I'm sure you could do one like Joe's if you were crazy enough to make a whole bunch of them to get practice.
Do you have a picture of the whip with the figure it was made for?

Joe,
Great picture! 8 plait at 1/8" is impressive! How long is the braided length?

Amazing!!!!!! Thank you both for posting pictures. Seriously, incredible work. I can only imagine how difficult a mini 12 plait would be... insane.

Paul,
The length is about 30 inches plus fall. I didn't have a splitter so everything is split by hand. I'm not sure of how long it took to make because I worked on it off and on for a while.

Those are cool. I got a bag of scrap leather when I went to Mr. Morgan's store, and made a couple of mini whips one is 6 plait roo 17 in. and a 12 in. 8 plait both are measured from the end to the fall hitch, and both crack well.

In the end I hope to be able to hang it from Indy's belt when Sideshow gets their 1/4 out.
Thanks Nick
