Scraps whip - Scrappy
Posted: Mon Mar 15, 2021 1:00 pm
This is a project I began in the autumn of 2019... As I am at most an amateur in whipmaking I had a lot of leftover strands, some which resulted from strand resizing, some which were the ends of strands I had cut too long, in order to make sure I don't run out. So I wanted to try to make a whip out of them. The usable strands got me up to the second belly and that's where I left it until two weeks ago.
I had given whipmaking a break due to my tendonitis, but I had always wanted to make a 10 feet whip. This I did, you can see it in my post history. But of course, now I had again a lot of leftover strands and they were JUST enough to make a 10 plait overlay to the scrap whip I had begun 1.65 years ago. Took be about 2 hours to finish it and I decided to dye it black, as I hadn't had a black leather whip up until that point.
Of course it's only a pocket bull, but heavily inspired by Indy's whip. And now for some pics:
It can be coiled reeeally small, so I can take it with me wherever I go.
