Or did someone miss paying a bill?

Terry Jacka had told me that he is quite possibly on permanent retirement...

[Blake Bruning]

It is unfortunate but he's made thousands of whips. Also I believe there is still several at Western stage props that can be attained so grab them while you can.

Speaking of whip makers in Aussie, it looks like Murphy whips are out too?

[Blake Bruning]

Murphy retired in 2013 if I remeber right. He is now making archery bows

[Lukes Roommate]

Retired? That's a shame. Looks like Western Stage Props is all out of his Indy 4 style whip now.
Too bad, that was one on my list.

[Castor Dioscuri]

I thought Western Stage didn't have his in stock for quite a while now...

Ah well, I'll really have to treasure my Jacka now!

I'm out of it for a little while and everyone starts retiring.... Sorry to hear this news, honestly never thought he would do that.

Word on the street is Del Carpio is semi retired too.

When I joined in 2008 David Morgan was already in the early retirement phase of whip building and Joe Strain, Terry Jacka and Bernardo were the powerhouse builders at the time. I have been really lucky to own a whip from each of these builders and cannot thank them enough for the joy they have brought me (also some welts...). It just makes you take a step back when you realize over the course of eight years that they are stepping/stepped down and now the quantity of these items will become rare as time goes on. I still have two from Terry and one from Bernardo and will cherish them for the rest of my life.

I really love my del carpio raiders. Cracks so effortlessly and is aging nicely.
