Here’s a bullwhip that I finished a while ago, but hadn’t shellac’d.
It’s now ready to go and listed on my IN STOCK whips page.

Finishing Up Some Projects
I figured I should finish up some projects that I started a long time ago. I’ve got a 4 foot two tone bullwhip where I made the insides and cut out the overlay probably a year ago.
I’m finally getting to work on finishing it. I finished up plaiting the overlay.
No hopefully it won’t sit for another year before I put the knot on it!

4 Foot Signal Whip
Here’s another signal whip that I made the other day:
This one has a loop on the end to make the cracker easily replaceable.
This signal whip is available on my IN STOCK whips page. I think I may pick up some more black kangaroo and make some more of these signal whips.

Finishing a Bullwhip
I just finished a foot 12 plait bullwhip and shipped it out. Here’s how it looked before the knots were put on:
And here’s the whip with the knots put on:
Up next is another six foot bullwhip in natural tan kangaroo.

8 Foot Bullwhip
Here’s a bullwhip that’s 8 feet long with a 12 plait two tone overlay:
I’ve been working on this bullwhip off and on for a little bit. It’s an order for a friend of mine that needed it mid-January, so I worked on it in between other projects.
It’s been a while since I’ve done a two tone whip with a plaited pattern. It was fun to do!
It’s shipping out today, almost a month ahead of schedule!

4.5 Two Tone Bullwhip
Here’s a 4 1/2 foot bullwhip that I finished making a long time ago, but haven’t listed for sale until now. I was going to make it as part of a pair of whips, but never got around to making it’s match, so I’m selling it as a single whip.
This bullwhip is normally $325, however I’m offering a Holiday Speical Price on it. Right now you can get $25 discount on it, so it’s only $300 (with worldwide shipping included!). To order it visit the IN STOCK whips page.
Order it for delivery in the USA before 12/20/16 and according to the USPS it will arrive by Christmas!

8 Foot Bullwhip
Right now I’m working on an 8 foot two tone bullwhip. It’s going to be a 12 plait whip in red and natural tan kangaroo.
I cut six strands out of each kangaroo skin for the overlay:
Then I did all the strand prep (stretching, paring, etc)
These are now ready for braiding which will start today!

Finished Signal Whips!
I finished the two signal whips that I’ve been working on and they are ready to head out to their new owners. The first one is 12 plait and all black:
The second one is 12 plait and black with a little bit of red:
Here are the two whips together:
Now that these two whips are finished, I’m currently all caught up on my orders, so my hook currently is empty. Now is a great time to put in an order if you would like a whip to be delivered by Christmas.

Lace for Bullwhips…
Today I cut out some lace for a pair of bullwhips:
This pair of whips is not for an order, they are a just for fun pair of whips. I made the internal layers as a pair, so these two sets of overlays could be to single colored whips or a pair of two tone whips. I need to figure out what I want to do soon!
