Hello from Bantoro – Handmade Whips & Leather Gear

[Bantoro craft]

Hi everyone,

I’m excited to finally join this community after browsing for a while. I’ve been working with leather for a few years now, focusing mostly on hand-crafted bullwhips, biker gear, and other accessories. My main interest is combining traditional techniques with durable materials (like kangaroo leather) to create gear that’s both functional and long-lasting.

At the end of the post, here are a couple of recent projects I’ve finished:
 

I’m always looking to improve, so I’d love to hear your thoughts, critiques, or suggestions. It’s great to see such a knowledgeable group of leatherworkers sharing their craft here.

If anyone’s interested in seeing more of my work, I’ve been building a small collection on my site: bantoro 

Looking forward to learning from you all and contributing where I can.

Best regards,
Bantoro Crafts

Welcome aboard. Whips interest me but by the time I look at the work and time involved, I just don't see myself going down that rabbit hole.

Looking forward to your contributions.
