Here's my most recent bullwhip that I've made:

This bullwhip is 8 feet long and I'm really happy with how it turned out!

You can see more picture and close ups of the thong and handle on my blog at http://bullwhips.org

Louie, your stuff looks incredible. I also really appreciate how often you keep your site updated and the volumes of information you upload.

Makes my time at work watching status bars pass go much more enjoyably.

I'm glad you read my blog. I started it when I started making bullwhips. It was intended as my personal journal of learning to make bullwhips, so I'm always amazed the people read it...and check for updates!!

Last night I was looking at pictures of my work over the last year and a lot of things have really come together recently and I can see that I'm currently cranking out a pretty decent bullwhip...but I still have a long way to go.

I would imagine your site/blog entertains and informs more people than you would guess. Keep up the good work.

Looks like very nice work Louie, but I'm not a fan of the KOTCS style. I prefer the traditional indy style รก la Morgan.

I've got one of the Morgan style Indy's in the hopper right now, I'll post pictures of it when I get it finished.

Hi,

I was on your blog to check other photos And I have something to say... it's amazing :D. It's very nice whip I think. Only the handle looks quiet short, but I think it's only visual mistake :). How thick is the handle?

Regards,
Karol

Kiscien,

The handle foundation is 8 inches...and the bullwhip has been shipped to its owner, but if I recall it's about 25ish mm in diameter at the middle of the handle. I modeled the handle's thickness after my Jacka bullwhip.

The handle may look a bit shorter due to how the whip was laid when I photographed it.


buda741,

Glad you like the 10 foot bullwhip!

I'm very happy with it, its exactly what I was after. Louie nailed it. The whip has a real nice backbone to it. I'm a total noob, I did some whipcracking with a snake whip previously but still very novice. I had the whip out yesterday and did some real basic cracks but I'm trying to learn more from the excellent videos posted on this site. I highly recommend Louie's whips ! :D

Great looking whip! I'm a real fan of the KOTCS style whip, and this looks the business.

Sorry Soup, this one is going out to South Carolina...right next to you. It'll take about 3 weeks for yours.

I'm sure they will be proud owners. No hurry here, the wait will be worth it.



Thanks,

Received an email from Louie this morning. He has finished a 10' natural roo for me and will be shipping shortly. Woo hoo! I hope to post some pictures of it when it arrives. Wasn't expecting it for 3 weeks, however he was able to finish it earlier than he expected. A tip of the Fedora for Louie.

Regards,

Mark
