Another Hunt Whip Thong

The person who ordered the hunt whip thong from me a bit ago liked it and just ordered another one. This one is five feet long, where the previous one was six feet. Here’s the core before it’s cut out:

And the core after it’s cut out:

This whip will have a little bit of a swell belly, so you can see that in the core’s shape. Here’s the completed interior layers:

Finally work get started on the outside:

This whip will have an 8 plait whiskey colored kangaroo overlay:

I’m glad the customer liked the first one enough to order a second one!

Hunt Whip Thong – 6 Foot

This was a fun project because it’s not what I normally make. It’s a lash for a hunt whip! The customer had been trying to replicate a lash that they already had, after checking out some pictures and getting some measurements, I got started.

The first step was ordering some whiskey colored veg tanned kangaroo from David Morgan.

Then I cut out the core, plaited they belly and added a bolster to it. Here are the finished internal layers:

After that I cut out the set for the overlay. This is going to be 8 plait.

Next I had to do all the strand prep, so stretching and paring the lace and then I started to plait the overlay.

And here’s the finished hunt whip thong:

I like the way it came out, and it’s got a nice crack to it!
