My New Del Carpio Raiders 2 8ft

Post by Clutters »

So this length of awesomeness arrived in the post two days ago, cracked overhead on the first attempt with next to no effort. Just stunning. All the praise for Bernardo's whips doesn't begin to describe how amazing this whip is. I'm an amateur whip cracker and this whip makes me appear FAR more skilled than I am.

Thanks Bernardo, this whip will be a family heirloom! :TOH:

Amazing :clap: I love that color. That's what I aim for on all my natural tan whips, not too light, but not dark, just in between.

That's really great :clap:

Raiders 2 is how Bernardo referred to his most recent version of his Raiders Style whip (he has made some changes since his Raiders 1 version)

I can't get enough of Bernardo's work. His whips are so beautiful and so well made. Bernardo is about to start Del Carpio #5 for me pretty soon.

Congrats on the new acquisition, Clutters. Crack in good health!

Spectacular whip. I only have one of his 8 foot cowhides, but still it is one of my favorites. I hope to graduate to a 12 plait as soon as I can.

Crack it in good health!
