The signal whip that I was working has been finished. It was a 3 foot, two tone whip:
This whip is made from 12 plait kagnaroo, and the natural tan tapers out of it as I drop strands, ending in all black lash.
This whip is on its way to its new owner!

Up next is a 3 foot 12 plait signal whip (single tail) in natural tan and black. I had a bit of black kangaroo left, however not enough for this whip, so I went up to David Morgan and picked up this skin:
It’s 57 dm, and I didn’t need much of it for the signal whip. I’m hoping they’ll be enough leftover for 6 foot bullwhip. There’s plenty for a 5 foot whip, but hoping for enough for a 6 foot.

Recently I started work on an 8 foot Indiana Jones Style Bullwhip. This will be made from kangaroo and made with the correct visual to match the whip from the movies.

Currently this whip has all of the internal layers finished, and I just cut out the 12 plait overlay:
Next step will be tacking on the lead load to the base of the handle, then plaiting the overlay!

I’m still working on the beginner’s bullwhip that I started yesterday. It’s 7 feet long and in 4 plait leather.
I’ve got the overlay finished, it just needs knots and a cracker. Unfortunately I’m leaving town for a couple of days, so it’ll sit almost finished until I get back.

Currently I’m finishing up using a side of leather I bought for a custom project. Earlier I made three bullwhips that were five and a half feet. What was left of the leather was enough to make a seven foot bullwhip. I’ve got all of the leather cut out and the belly finished:
Hopefully I’ll have time to finish this bullwhip by Monday!

The three Beginner’s Bullwhips that I started work on last week are finally finished!
Two of them have the same knots and one has two tone knots. If someone wanted to learn two handed cracking, they could get the two with the same knots and have a pair that look the same:
I just listed these for sale on my IN STOCK whips page.

Today I continued working on these 4 plait bullwhips. The bellies of all three of the whips were completed:
In addition to that I also had time to cut out and do all the strand prep for the overlays of the whips.
I’ll get to work on plaiting the overlays shortly.
