:D There would be 4 pics here but I can't work out how to post them. Two photos are of Bernardo's 10' Raiders whip, one is of the David Morgan bullwhip 455 made by Meagan, and the other I made in '85.

That is nothing less than magnificent craftsmanship at its finest, I know I don't even have to ask how it throws and cracks :D .


I'm also looking forward to the other photo's



Cheers.

This one I made in 1985. The TH butt knot was re-done recently.

Thanks everyone! Cracker, thank you for your compliment. It must be the first Indy type bullwhip ever made in Australia as far as I know. There were a few I made that preceded it, using the same steel handle. I would unplait them and start all over again. I was self-taught, with a bit of help from an early Ron Edwards book. Thank you Ron.
