Hey sorry on the delay. I don't know what I had the past few days but it took a great toll on my self. Guess I got really sick. Being a bread man, I just cant call in sick. Yeah it ***** but the pay is good. So I took these past few days to recover. I am almost done with it. I'll post up some pics of it and shoot a vid also. this one is about 24in.

Oh and it an 8 plait ending in a 4 stand fall hitch. At 2ft long on the plaited area.

Nice...

I should get one but i would need to get a new hat! I have an old Cavalry hat that i wore in the ARMY but it has all my army pins and stuff on it that it has become something special for me.

knowing me though its only a matter of time!

Awwww... It looks like a baby whip. So cute!

...I'll bet it would still hurt, though. Great for close quarter battles or just making a horse gallop (as long as you dont hit the horse...).

That WOULD hurt! Did you get the Harrison scar? Hehe...

Just this morning, I accidentally hit my head with the whip while doing the overhead crack... the end of the whip scraped the top of my head. It really stung! I even held it for a few seconds checking if there was any blood because it really hurt. Good thing there wasn't any. It just really hurt.
