Nice - the Stenhouse looks like a beaut!

That's a WPG bag isn't it? The colour looks like a newer 'green' WPG bag on my PC, but the strap looks like an older orange/brown colour from the 'tan' version - is this right?

Anyway, it all looks very nice indeed. :tup:

I actually thought it was a real MKVII with a WPG strap.
Good start so far. I think that's what I had to begin as well(except a ECWhip instead of a Stenthouse)

no, look at the rings and disk. They're both highly polished and without rust or tarnish which to me says "WPG!" Great gear though, love the Stenhouse whip! :) :junior: -IJ

Yup, WPG bag ,some people have said the strap didnt look right but Iaccidently used a rag that I clean my guns with to put some lexol on tha strap, it darkened it up quite nice, the carbon came off the rag and went into the strap! :shock: :? oh well it looks good.I have used my bag every day for about 2 months now and it stilkl looks brand new (I think I need to drag it behind the truck!) :wink:

Just make sure you aren't wearing a Wested while your doing it, you want to distress the bag, not ruin the jacket :D :junior: -IJ

Yeah, I've yet to acquire a good whip. The only one I have is a cheap $40 US 12 footer I got from the Calgary Stampede. I am looking for an 8 ft. one, because I can only forward crack the 12 footer. I guess my technique isn't quite good enough.

The WPG is one tough cookie!! I used it daily on a 3 week trip through Canada that included 13 nights of camping, and the only wear on my WPG was from when I wanted to age it a bit and dragged it down a gravel road. The canvas hasn't scratched too much except on the bottom, but the seams are starting to look more worn. I would drop it in mud, but the vent holes in the bottom would flood the bag!

thanks, Mr stenhouse did a fine job and he was a pleasure to deal with, the one I hav is the 10 footer, if I was to do it again I would still go with the 10 footer,for me it is the perfect length.

Great looking Bull, Stenhouse is the man. It will look even better when it ages.

Let us know how it cracks.

Thanks
