Hand-Braided Kangaroo Leather Whip Project – Looking for Feedback from Experts

[Bantoro craft]

Hey everyone,
I’ve been working on improving my leather braiding techniques, especially with kangaroo hide, and recently completed a brown–red 16-plait snake whip.

I’m trying to refine tapering, plait symmetry, and handle reinforcement, and thought this community might have some experienced eyes for feedback.

I’ve been studying different braiding methods, core building techniques, and how to get the cleanest transitions.
If anyone here specializes in whip-making or braiding, I’d really appreciate advice or critique.

I’ve shared more of my work and built on my profile as well.
Thanks in advance — always learning!
