That's lovely. I especially like the contrasted aging pattern on the taper knot.

Re: New Aussie style bull whip
How do you change colors? Just replacing strands with other ones?
Re: New Aussie style bull whip
I really like what I see, particularly the colors! But I'm a little lost on your terminology. "Aussie style" bullwhip is a bit loose but typically it means a long handled bullwhip that is light (for sport cracking) and lacks a wrist loop. Why not call it something like an American bullwhip?
Re: New Aussie style bull whip
Hey tomek9210- that is one way of doing it, you can also dye sections of a whip after completion although it is a tedious job that takes a fine brush and a steady hand.
WhipDude- Thank you for your compliments and you would be correct in your thinking if every whip customer knew what every kind of whip was called.
Unfortunately to a very large number of people this link below is, in their minds, what an American Bullwhip looks like.

Sometimes this is the only kind of whip they have ever seen besides the "Indy Whip" if they have ever seen an Indy whip.
I have made true Aussie bull whips like you describe with 12 to 14 inch handles, lighter weight and smaller diameter
but thanks to Adam Winrich and Anthony DeLongis the majority of whip enthusiast better identify these whips as "Target Whips".
There fore I market them as so.
