Well, here they are
First off is a 6 ft. 12 plt. indy style in blue(it looks black 'in person' too) using the bolster lengths, and the new braiding technic that I learnt from David Morgan and Alex.

And with it, my new DM.

LOL! You made mini Indys!!!! I haven't posted here on COW for awhile, even though I do still read the threads... we've been so busy lately, it's wild. But I couldn't pass up commenting on this. :D Your big whip looks really nice too, but of course I love your minis - have your eyes uncrossed yet? :lol:

I don't think I'd shared this yet, but I made another one for a COW member awhile back and decided to give the two-pass knot a shot (I see you did that as well!). Congrats on making the little 3plait looking wristloop - I have yet to attempt that. :clap: And this might sound goofy, but try rounding your miniature falls. That'll make 'em a little denser and smoother... just use a skinny little strip of roo, and do it like you would a full-size fall.

Anyhow, here's a couple pics of my the mini I made a little while back... Thanks for sharing yours! I'm honored to have some competition with the 4plait minis ;).

Thanks for all the kind words. The 6 footer cracks well although I think it needs more weight at the point, but other than that its a nice fluid whip.

Great looking whip Spencer! Swap a heavier / longer fall in to see how that changes things? I've been playing around with different crackers lately.

Both your and Laura's minis are very nice, how well do they crack? :D

Maybe there should be an official record for the smallest whip, and the smallest whip to actually crack. I really do think it would be great to wear fingertip whips that go boom with a flick, but fear that air resistance must out mass the momentum, to put it in non technical terms. What about legions of nano whips for herding rogue molecules? :-k

With y'alls patience and skill to make those things, the falconry hood makers better watch out!
