Betreff: For old time's sake...
Didn't expect to ever be posting in this section again! However, having sold off my own personal 10ft, and having a hide and half of roohide lying around, I decided to make one more whip - for old time's sake. To be honest, it has been so long since I made a whip, I was hoping to sell the hides to Indy Breineder - but he didn't have any need for them at the moment, being very busy with his other leatherwork. No choice then, other than to let the hides dry out, or to make them into a whip. Plus, I realised I really should have something to keep in the family to show for all the effort I put into learing the craft. So this one is going to be for display only. I haven't really cracked whips for a year or more anyway.
I'm quite happy with how it turned out - especially after such a long time. My hands are killing me though as they are no longer used to the work! I feel quite proud that I was able to hone my skills to make something like this, so it'll be nice to show it to any future generations. And on to some pics...
