I use either roo or veg tanned double milled shoulder cowhide. Cowhide can make a nice whip but it'll be a bit heavier and because it doesn't the same tensile strenght , you wont be able to taper your strands to as fine a point without risking broken strands during braiding. Also a bit more care when you braid ,you simply cannot braid as tight. These whips were made of cowhide...

@TXAG : I used a fine coat of saddle lac followed by some aussie leather conditioner and a good roll , i do that twice for good mesure .

I mainly do whips and i've had good results with veg tanned double milled shoulder cowhide , 3 to 4 oz . It has more stretch than roo but still works well and much cheaper. Here's a 3ft and a 6ft snakewhips

Just finished my first single tail whip. It's a snake whip, 39 inches in length. The two braided bellies and bolsters are made of veg tanned cowhide and the overlay is kangaroo leather. I'm not much of a photographer but here it is.

I'm also in the Montreal area ...Strange that you should mention dog leads cuz i was just looking up the techniques to make some for my dogs and maybe for some adult games purposes

Hi everyone ! I'm new to leathercrafting, started making floggers a few months ago and quickly became enamoured with leather work and braiding . Here's some pics of my latest toy .I saw the concept on a website and thought it so clever i decided to reproduce it . Its a hybrid whip/ cat O'nine, the body is in essence a snake whip . It is 17 inch long and made up of a shot bag ,4 plait braided belly, a bolster, 12 plait braided overlay. The laces for the overlay are tapered all the way down and are separated into three four plait round braids ,each ending in slapper falls. It was a challenge to myself to learn how to taper long laces and also my first time doing a 12 plait braid.
