Today was a rare nice day in Seattle, so my daughter and I went to the park: She’s cracking a 4 foot 16 plait bullwhip that I made for her: Louie http://bullwhips.org

Here’s the two tone signal whip that I finished a couple of days ago: This signal whip turned out great! The strand drops on this whip are some of my best. Louie P.S. This signal whip is for sale on my IN STOCK whips page.
Next on my list of things to make is an 8 foot budget bullwhip made with the heavier cowhide. After making a matched pair of two tone bullwhips, I really don’t want to make the budget one…it feels like a step backwards. However I have the 4 plait overlay already cut out and pared, so [...]
The matched pair of bullwhips is almost finished. All that’s left is to shellac them. It’s raining out today, so it doesn’t look like I’ll get a chance to take them to the park. I did give them a couple of cracks in my living room yesterday and they crack well. Next up in my [...]
Right now I’m about halfway finished with the thongs of the both of the Australian Bullwhips that I’m working on. I should have time to at least finish the thongs today, and maybe do the knots. Even if I do manage to completely finish these bullwhips, I’m not going to get to try them out, [...]
Right now I have the handles finished for the matched pair of 12 plait two tone bullwhips. I think this is the first matched pair that I’ve done that have patterns on both handles. I want the patterns to be the same, not just the same pattern, but having the patterns line up if you [...]
I’m still working on making a pair of two tone kangaroo bullwhips. Right now the bullwhips have the outer bolsters attached: And I have the overlay’s cut out and pared: While I was paring them I was thinking about splitting them. Since I’m doing a two tone with one color going one direction and the [...]
Right now I’m working on a matched pair of bullwhips. They are going to be two tone in natural tan and red kangaroo. I haven’t decided if I’m going to do them in 12 or 16 plait. So far I have the cores attached to the handles and the bellies cut out and pared. The [...]
I like the idea of using a bullwhip to train pets…maybe my cat will finally start to obey me! Yesterday I changed the fall on the 16 plait two tone bullwhip that I made a little while ago to a whitehide one: This whip is shipping out on Monday to it’s new owner on the [...]
I’m planning on making a few more two tone bullwhips with the red and natural tan kangaroo. I just ordered a couple more hides each color and should have them next week. I don’t think I’ll get any whip work done today, I’m still sick (my temp was 102 last night!) and I’ve a lot [...]
