Hi! Hello!

After long, month during, brake without internet I got to pleasure to write here again, and show some whips. Two of them are IJ style, rest not but I think you still can say few words, to make my works better.

So I'm begin:

5 ft, two tone whip. I don't like it. I have broken few strands so plait doesn't looks at is has to look. Because of way it look, I don't like that whip :).
Image

Indy style, 12 plait 8 ft(if I remember well). I like that one. Unfortunately I doesn't have time to make good pics, so it looks much more better in real.
Image

Indy style bullwhip. Made with roo hide, 8 strands. It has 8 ft lenght.
Image

Something a bit different. 10 ft, 12 plait kangaroo hide. It has long 12 inchs handle. On client request handle is a bit narrower then thong. Knots and wrist loop are made with saddle tan hide.
Image

Two stockwhips for two handed routines. Thongs are 3,5 ft long, handles got 18 lenght. Balance is placed 11 inchs measure from the beggining of the handle cane. Strong keeper, made with two layers of kangaroo. Thongs made with 12 strands, handle with 16.
Image

Warsaw whip ;). Red and yellow are Warsaw's colors, and that whip has to be a souvenire from here. So I made that 5 ft two tone snake whip.
Image

Normally black bullwhip. 8 ft lenght, 10 inchs handle. Made with 16 strands.
Image

Now something not whip-like ;). Belt, made with 12, red, kangaroo strands. Box made using 4-5 mm black cowhide. I didn't use glue or sewing here. Only lace and few rivet to place straps.

I looking foreword to see some comments :).

Kind regards,

Hi Karol. It's a shame that first whip got some broken strands!!! :? Still, it is really nice looking. I like the long handled Australian style bullwhip, too. It looks very ellegant. Can't see much from the belt, but I have always liked the look on those roo hide belts...

Congrats on your skills. :clap:

All the best,

Aldo.

Hi Karol!

Nice work on those whips. The Warsaw whip loooks great. Red and yellow are also the colors on the Spanish flag, so it would work well here too. I really like that last 16 plait too.
Thwak! :whip:
