carr52 Report post Posted June 25, 2008 I finnally started my whip. Well right off my first mistake was in using a peice of wood that is too large. It's 7/8" and I think I should have used maybe 5/8" or even 1/2". I had used the same size on a practice peice and it looked good. But, I didn't take into consideration that the practice was fewer strands and paracord which is thinner. I'm starting with 12 on this one. I mean it isn't ugly or any thing but just looks too big. I think. The transition from 12 to 10 was a little tricky but I got it done. I found out that using paracord is a whole different animal from leather. Live and learn. Just got through giving it a really hard rolling and have to give my arms a rest. Any hints or tips would be "GREATLY" welcomed. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
