Mini Indy whips

Hello All,

I have a mini bullwhip that I wanted to share, this one pictured has a 6 inch steel nail, leather core, 4 plait kangaroo belly, double bolster and an 8 plait kangaroo overlay ending in 6 plait.

But, I am going to start producing mini Indy style bullwhips with a 6 inch steel nail, wear leather, leather core, (2) kangaroo 4 plaited bellies and 2 bolsters and finish with the standard 12 plait kangaroo overlay which should look very similar to the standard Indy style whips and these will be a total length of 3.5 feet. I should have some pictures of this style up in the next couple days.

Take care,

Nick

Very nice Nick!

Also, I think the choice to go 8 plait is a good one; it looks very nice on it!

Congrats!

Thanks Franco

I do think the 8 plait looks good on these, I have noticed as I work with the 12 plait with the mini whips although it looks "Indy" but it just does not look as good as the 8 plait does. The 8 plait seems to work better with the smaller whips like these. I guess I will have to post both on here and ask for opinions on which one more people would like to have and then go with that.

Nah, yer the whipmaker, you decide what you want to make. And it's fine as is.

My 5 year old and 7 year old were looking over my shoulder as I was looking at this post (both are avid whip crackers) and they told me to tell you... =P~ =P~ !


High Regards!

Whenever I see one of your pocket bulls, Nick, or a pocket snake, I feel SOOOOO tempted to buy one to carry it with me all day, in case it is required, if you know what I mean... :twisted:

Just kidding! :mrgreen:

HEy All

If anyone is interested in these mini whips just send me a PM and I can fill you in with all the details, I have one of these that I crack occasionally and they are fun to use.

Thanks for the comments!

Take care,

Nick
