Just wanted to post for all to enjoy. Joe just took this pic of my new whip that on it's way to me.

It is 5 foot, 16 plait in black kangaroo with a sterling silver ferrule. Sort of a more compact Zorro type whip. Just what I pictured in my head when I asked him to make it. The guy is such an artist. I'll post more pics when I get it in hand.

Is the handle 10 or 12 inches? Seems like 12 to me but not sure...
Thanks,

Franco

I asked Joe to use his "LoneStar" style whip as a base to work from which I believe is a ten inch handle. I wanted a shorter handle than his official Zorro/Alex Green style whips. I needed something a little more compact as those are pretty large whips and sometimes I find myself performing in smaller more compact stages/venues and thought this would be a perfect size and feel.

WOW! Thats beautiful. I would love to own a whip like that. How does it crack? Not that there should be any question to its excellence. I think that my be my next project. Something like that in paracord. Any way, congrats on your new whip!

That's an Awesome Whip! It looks really sleak! I just talked to Joe and he said that your whip & my Whips went out @ the same time- I will have mine in hand on Saturday! I can't wait- I love Joe's whips! I'm getting a pair of 4 foot OxBlood Red 16 plait Lonestars, so I can practice inside- I'll have to post a couple pix for you-

Thanks. I just saw your thread and post as well. Great looking whips. I have Joe's 4 ft. LoneStars too - great whips especially for indoors.

I'll have my whip in hand later today. It's already at my house - just have to head home! Can't wait.

Joe seems proud of it too. He posted the pic to his Facebook page. When I saw it, I thought "Wonder who the lucky devil is that ordered that?"

Now I know. :TOH:

Enjoy!

There's just been something about the way a 16 plait black whip looks. I've seen 12 plait black, 20 and 24 plait black, but 16 just

something about it. I don't know, maybe it's just that's the strands are not too wide, not too thin, just right, but I love the way it

looks. :TOH:

Every time I'm looking through here, I look at this topic for this photo. I love it so much I not only set it as my desktop background, but also as my phone background. I know, I am a little strange. Again, beautiful whip!

Joe really outdid himself. It is a beautiful whip and handles amazing. Just spectacular.

Will be my "go to" whip for performing I'm sure.

A very nice addition to the collection. Here are just a few of my whips laid out - most of my Morgans and Indy whips aren't even laid out here and none of my smaller mini-bulls and signals.

Some of Joe's other nice work.

I must second riku. This really is one of my favorite whips I have seen. I really wish you would post a video of it cracking. No one seems to do that anymore. Thanks for the photos!

You know indy whips are cool and tough looking, but this zorro whip is just beautiful, a work of art. I'm gonna repeat what I said

for emphasis, I'm jealous.
