These
whips are guaranteed one of a kind whips world wide. Bullwhips come in
two tone kangaroo hide of your choice in 36 to 64 plait whips.
Stock whips come in two tone kangaroo hide of your choice with a 36 plait
handle and a 24 plait thong.
Some of these whips such as a 64 plait bull whip can take up to a hundred
and fifty hours to make and therefore need a lead up time of two to three months.
Prices range from $1600.00 US for a two tone stock whip as above to $3200.00 US for a 64 plait bullwhip. All whips are numbered and come with
a certificate of authenticity giving the particulars of the whip and who
it was crafted for. Your initials plaited into handle if requested free
.These whips really are one of a kind but they do take a long time to make and
are very time consuming hence the price. When I set out to make one of these
whips for anybody they are not the sort of thing you can sit down and make in
one sitting. The patterns are complicated and intricate , about 2 hours a day is about all
that I can do before my old eyes start to glaze over and the brain goes numb.
Prices do not include rings.
Crafting a
64 strand bull whip.
What's
involved?
It's
always a big commitment starting a 64 strand bullwhip as you can well imagine.
About 150 hours are involved of eye straining and sometimes mind numbing work. Concentration
levels are high. Because most of the work done with this many
strands is in two tone, the slightest mistake can be seen immediately so
everything has to be perfect.
