Hi!

You could just shoot Mark Allen of WSP an email to see who is in his current lineup. He has had some very illustrious names providing him with whips, including Joe Strain, Paul Nolan and Russell Schultz, to name a few.

Because the exchange rate isn't as great as it used to be, (at least going THIS direction,) I've heard that Mark isn't getting as many whips these days from Russell.

Joe Strain isn't braiding for Mark anymore either, (though I think he MAY still be doing the Zorros. Not sure.)

Chances are, he's getting them from Paul and Lauren.

Bear in mind that Mark tries to keep stuff in stock, so he may very well have a Strain or a Schultz on hand. If you're looking for something particular, call and ask him or Jo.

All the best, and happy cracking!

Its been a while since this post was active but I wanted to ask a quick question. I bought a whip from Mark a few months ago and it was the 8' Cowhide whip they offer in 12 plait. The description said it was their best Cowhide whip that they offer. It is a nice looking whip for the price of $189, I think is right. I wondered if you guys might know who made this whip for them. I did talk to Mark on the phone but with all the questions I had I forgot to ask the important one. So if you have any idea please let me know if you can.

if you posted a pic, maybe someone could figure out who's work it was just by looking at it.
