Here’s the finished five foot 8 plait bullwhip:

This bullwhip ends in a 8 plait point. I chose to go with an 8 plait dropping to 6 plait at the point for a couple of reasons.
- It makes the point a bit more rugged.
- It makes each pull while plaiting cover more area, so it’s faster to make than with an 8 plait point.
My goal for this whip was to make an 8 foot kangaroo bullwhip that will sell for under $200. So it’d be a good entry level kangaroo bullwhip. So by having a whip that I could make a bit faster by ending in a six plait point kept the cost down and having wider strands at the point is good for a beginner who will beat up this bullwhip.
Of course this whip isn’t just for beginners, internally it’s how I would make pretty much any other five foot bullwhip out of kangaroo. So it’s a good solid bullwhip!
I listed this bullwhip for sale on my IN STOCK whips page.
