Hi Guys,
I am pleased to show you this Indy style built for my great friend and good whipmaker.
This whip was built according to his request.
I hope you like it

Nice work Gio! What colour is that?

Very nice!

That color caught my eye as well. Very rich looking.
Like that handle shape too.

Thanks a lot for your positive feedback!!
starting from naturaly tan to get this color I used braiding soap and a mixture of brown and blond shellac.

I really like the shape of the heel knot and the proportions of the handle - knots, it looks very indy in my opinion.

Good work as usual gio!

In the first picture, is it where a belly ended that I see, or is it where you stopped binding ( there's an area where it appears

some stiffness let's off suddenly )? It's about 1.5 ft. down the thong, maybe a little more.

Thanks my friend for this beautiful whip!

It was more a question to gio than you, but there is an area where the whip suddenly looses stiffness. It's either where he stopped

some really tight binding, or where a belly ended.

Ok, I'm sorry.
I think that Giovanni Celeste can't answer at this time. When he can, will answer for sure. Anyway I asked a Giovanni a thong little more often and I think that It's the end of the bolster, but I'm not sure..

I doubt a bolster would go that short, unless you're referring to the core, which I don't think the core ending would cause that.

What a beauty Giovanni.

Thanks for Sharing

I like the long thing point. Bet it is a nice, fast whip.

Hi there,
first of all I apologize for my absence but I've been in Scotland for our honeymoon!!!!
Thanks again for your compliment always welcome. I finally find time to respond.
This whip was made according ​​the standard construction, honestly I remember that whip present a constant stiffness along the thong.
at the same time I agree with Riku about the first pic but I think it's a question of how the whip was rolled slightly beyond its natural curvature.
I hope this can be useful

Looks great!
Best Wishes,
Nebraska S.
