It looks good Gio. Since it has 4 plaited bellies I'm assuming that there are no bolsters?

Gio,
Looking at this finished pocket snake....your seams are straight. I especially like the way thong is tapered all the way to the fall hitch. I don't see any bulges on your transitions where you drop your strands. Great job!

Anyway, great looking whip from the turks head all the way to the fall hitch.

Hello Sergei and Jim, thank you very much for your kind words about my whips.
Jim, the whip is bolstered, I forgot to put it in the description but now is correct.
Thanks again.
