Anyone know a whipmaker named Michael Brower?

If you do know him, and you know his contact info, (email, phone #, etc.) could you please PM that info to me.

Thanks!

I have a Michael Brower whip. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=41003&hilit=+brower He is based out of Michigan. His Ebay moniker ( or the guy who sells them for him) is MrSavings, I believe.

Cheers!

Daren, Message sent.

Thanks, guys

I've talked to him on the phone a few times, and I placed an order a few months ago and sent him a check. But I never received any email confirmation from him regarding the money I sent, and I've had no luck getting him on the phone over the last few weeks.

The 3-4 times we've talked on the phone have been great, and I always enjoy talking whips, but (like many whip-makers) his estimation for delivery is WAY off. This wouldn't normally concern me, but I feel like I've lost contact entirely, especially because he doesn't have a site.

Most whipmakers take a little (or a lot) longer than they say, and I've come to accept it. This is the first time I've started to worry. Hopefully, the whips will come soon, and I will be able to write a review for all to see.

By the way, I made the order based off of Anthony DeLongis's recommendation. During my last visit, I was able to try a few whips that Mike had made especially for Anthony, and I thought they were very good. The price was right as well. I also know that Anthony is waiting on a few more whips from Mike, so I'm sure I have nothing to worry about, but radio silence is never fun.

Thanks, everyone

He hasn't had whips on ebay recently...usually Brower has a whip or two on it.

Oh, on a side note, daren I'm still planning on burning those pics to a disk for you.

I hope it comes through for you Daren. I have a couple of Mike's roo whips and they are both very nicely made.

Hey, for anyone who has been interested in this thread, Mike called me today.

I put a message through to Anthony DeLongis, who had his info, and he spoke to him, and Mike called me up. Apparently Mike was waiting for me to email him, but I didn't have his current email. So, bottom line is: it was all just a communication SNAFU, but it's all cleared up. I have Mike's proper email and current phone number. (if anyone wants it, PM me).

Mike also asked if I knew anything about someone on eBay posing as him. I didn't, but I'm curious if anyone out there has come across someone posing as Mike Brower on eBay.

Bottom line, my whips are finished and I should be receiving them very soon.

I definitely plan on doing a write up with pics soon after I get them.

To anyone who read or responded to this, thanks for the interest.

Glad it turned out good Daren. I'll look forward to seeing the pictures and hearing your thoughts on Mike's whips. I have seen some cowhide whips on Ebay that were supposedly made by Mike, but they didn't look like his quality of whips.
