Well I've been pretty distracted lately from making whips. I just finished a couple of matching whips. A black and gray snake and bull.
I personally really like these little three foot snakewhips (Pocket Rattlers). I take mine with me a lot of places I go. I typically have it in the bag I take to work (one never knows when one will want to blow off and little steam and do a bit of cracking). I know my wife thinks I'm crazy but I even usually take it with me when we go for walks. It's fun to crack around with, although she prefers to be at a safe distance.
I think what I like about these Pocket Rattlers is their small size and fast cracking ability. I can simply roll it up and put it in just about any pocket. And then they are just fun to crack - easy multiple cracks and quick flick-of-the-wrist "towel" cracks.
Very pretty. I just took my first attempt at a nylon snakewhip a couple days ago. I'm really enjoying the craft and learning to crack.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the note Charon. Have you been attempting to build a snakewhip?
