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

Absolutely gorgeous!

Absolutely gorgeous!! I lift my hat off to you ,it takes an amazing amount of skill to create such works of art ..

Thank you Bernie Your videos have been an invaluable source of information!

I would appreciate the info also

Gorgeous!!

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.

Hi everyone , I'm relatively new to leathercrafting ,started with making floggers a few months ago and got hooked right away. Most of my work is adult play toys and i'm getting to try my hand at making whips . Josee

Can you add me please
