TWO whips in one week? OH MY!!!
I ordered this one around the same time i did the KOTCS from Joe...
All i asked Bernardo for was a Raiders style whip and asked him to take his time with it.......
and BOY howdy did it pay off!
Bernardo just sent me pictures today and said I should have it in a few days....
it turned out FANTASTIC, the colors in the hide are really sweet and just makes me all the more excited to see how it ages overtime...
and trust me..... it WILL see use!

Its a 9 footer like the strain, but made in the typical Indy style.

Im just going to link the pictures so you can get the full size view:
