Right now I’m working on making an 8 foot 12 plait bullwhip in the style of the one used in the Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull movie. The picture above is of the inner plaited belly and below is the whip with both bellies attached (but the outer [...]
The shellac dried on this pair of bullwhips! They are six feet long with 12 plait kangaroo overlays. I got the THICK kangaroo hides that were used to make these bullwhips from David Morgan. I naturally darkened the hides a bit before I made the bullwhips. I’ve [...]
Here’s the 10 foot bullwhip that I made yesterday and shipped out to it’s new owner: Right now I’m working on the overlays of the pair of 6 foot 12 plait bullwhips that I started a few weeks ago. I’ve got one whip with about 12 inches finished and the other with [...]
I was thinking about the 10 foot bullwhip that I’m working right now. It’s one of the whips that’s made with the look of the bullwhip in the movie Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Besides the color one of the things that makes this bull whip different is that it ends [...]

Last night I finished plaiting the outer bellies on the matched pair of bullwhips that I’m working on. The fun and challenge of making a matched pair of bullwhips is trying to make them as close to the same as possible. Getting the taper the same is as bit of a challenge, however the [...]
Last night I got back from 4 days in North Carolina (and a quick trip to South Carolina), I had a ton of fun, but it’s good to be home. When I got home I had a package of kangaroo skins waiting for me: Two natural tan and two black kangaroo hides. These are all [...]
