This is not an ancient piece of work by any means, but its one that is rarely seen today. Its a brain tanned buckskin cow whip used by my father in the 60's before nylon became the norm. It was plaited by a man named Tom Bumby. It makes for a good conversation piece nowadays.

Name is Roy and I am a full time cattle rancher and part time whip plaiter at www.gator-whips.com . I am originally from Florida but moved my family to TX 7 years ago. I plait nylon whips but my interest is growing in leather and rawhide. I think a nice rawhide whip would be really neat and something rarely seen. I recently skinned out a big steer and have a couple of deer hides that I am currently turning into rawhide. Its been a pleasurable learning experience. I also opened a store called Whip Nation found at www.whip-nation.com where I carry a large selection of materials for whip plaiters in both nylon and leather. I am a dealer for Weaver, Springfield, Montana Pitch Blend, Pecard, and Bickmore. I have imported a nice color selection of kangaroo hides for sale, but its killing me to not cut them up in lace and plait a whip. I look forward to viewing the forum and hopefully I get to post up a leather project one day.
