The u3 o3 pattern is known as the Whipmaker's Plait The u2 o2 u2is the Short Herringbone The Irregular Herrinbone can be done by simply picking up two strands at a time and taking them around in an u3 o3 sequence. The Double Dimond pattern is done by taking two strands at a time and they go o2 u2 o2 The Triple Dimond would be done by taking 3 strands around in an u3 03 pattern ( if done in 1 colour this would be called Coachwhipping ) These are some of the 12 plait round braids i do on my Stock whip handles in two tone Cheers Bevan www.bwrwhips.com

So if you wounder why i always say Cheers !!! its because i have no leather ,,, otherwise i would be plaiting away So Cheers Folks PS Now i am down to the scraps i almost got rid of !! The roos in the back paddock are looking a bit nervous !!!!

G’day Buckskin how ya going mate? Before I say what the other good folk have said!! I will ask what did you use as a core??? and what was the diameter of it?? RULE OF THUMB FOR ME diameter of the core x 4.5 = ? divided by the number of strings I want to use ? = the width of the string I will use for a perfect cover !! Plus I bevel my strings with my own beveller for that perfect look, Well give it a go and let us know if it works for you too !!! Cheers from down under Bevan www.bwrwhips.com Here is my web site if you want to check out the beveller and the results I achieve by using this rule.

I cut my own lace mate ,,, and i uselly get the leather between the front gate and the back paddock ,,, plenty roo here but for those that are not so fortunate give packers a call , you cant go wrong , they are the go!! I have made and sell a lace cutter www.bwrwhips.com email us if ya want any more info Cheer Bevo

Gday my friend ,how are things going ??? as you know i am aussie and i am glad you know where roo comes from !!!! lol We are in a drought at the moment ,, oops but it is raining too !!!! QLD is that wet the roo shooters cant get out to bring them in , so the price of roo leather is going thru the roof at the moment . so I think the price you got it for is very good,be prepared o pay more in the near future !!! I am with you mate , drumed or not i still like the feel and it dont take much to make it feel nice , i use a bit of mutton fat and soap ,,,, mmmmm the roo loves it and the whips and bosals look a treat plus i know the leather is nice and moist when i sell them . Chrome ?????played with it when i had my old FJ Holden (56 Chev)only on the motor

JUNK !!!!! JUNK !!!!! pretty good junk you have there Allen, nice work!! Cheers Bevan www.bwrwhips

Gdy mate , i am glad you found the site , i know they are in 16 plait !!!! but if you look at the rule its all the same !!!! 8 one side 8 the other ,, that is 16 plait ,, if you draw the squares and have 4 each side then you have 8 plait ,,, 6 each side you will have a 12 plait , but if you draw it up and colour the squares how you want them you should be ably to make what ever pattern you want , !!!!!if you want to have a go at a 12 plait i have send you a very nice pattern ,,, but it is only two more than what ya want mate ,,, you can do it !!!PM me if you need the passes Cheers Bevan www.bwrwhips.com diamond pattern.pdf diamond pattern.pdf

Gday Erik try this site, he has some downloads that will help you out http://www.deadringer.com.au/ the more strings you have the more you can design in your pattern , once you get used to making your pattern and then writing down the passes the hardest part is try-n to keep track on where you are up to , i get the Boss to help me with this !!!!! Cheers Bevan www.bwrwhips.com

Gday 8th its good to hear you done better than broke even ,, if you think of the publicity you have made and the people will go away and want your pieces later , you are well and truly ahead then mate ,its all about getting out there hey !!! Best of luck Cheers Bevan
