Club Obi Wan

As some of you may know, my first and (at the time of the most recent Finger Lakes summit this past weekend) my only whip I owned was one that I had bought online some years ago from Texas Bullwhips. At first, the whip didn't crack very well, but after time, and after finally learning to do the forward crack I got it to crack really well.

Over the years, I was planning to get a whip, either from Winrich, Pagey or Giovanni Celeste (an Italian whipmaker) but never quite got around to it.

Chewbacca Jones was kind enough to make a small tub of pecards leather dressing from the large tub that he has and told me "here is your pecards, along with your new whip". Basically, Chewie has three whips and was going to sell his IOAB Winrich whip, but has very kindly let me have it!

Chewie, darling. Thank you so much for this unexpected gift. You never cease to amaze me, honey.

Yeah, yeah, I know... ;0 I will get some posted soon.


Mike, thanks once again! You've made me a very happy woman!

IOABs are great whips. Congrats on getting one! What's the whip length?

Thanks!

In answer to your question, its an 8ft whip. The Lady Canyon is nowhere near ready for a 10 ft whip.

Very glad you have an new whip, Canyon, the 8 foot is actually an ideal length wihip. Congratulations! Now get cracking!

Regards,

Soup

Thanks!

Oh yes, here are some pictures of the whip.

Hi Canyon,

That whip is "BEAUTIFUL!!!" I so hope to have one of Adam's whips one day!

Crack On!

Adam's IOAB is a clear example that a whip neither needs to be made of kangaroo hide nor in a higher plait count. It all comes down to having a good taper, and constructed correctly.

Congratulations on the whip, by the way...!

Canyon, Congratulations on the new whip, (and the new fiancé too ) The IOAB’s are really nice whips and preform well, Now you have no more excuses to become an expert whip cracker!

All the best.

I too am fortunate enough to have one of Adam's IOAB 8 footers and it is a super easy whip to work with. It handles easy, rolls out and with very little efforts yields that nice crack. It is a great trainer whip, because you learn most every crack on it easily as I think the whips design makes it so easy to control. Looks good, cracks easily and the price is right-especially your price zero dollars on the debit card-make it an all around great whip to own. Congratulations!

Thanks for all the kind comments, guys!
