Sting Ray Bullwhip

[bullwhips]

Here's a bullwhip that I finished yesterday.

The handle is stingray.

It's got a 20 plait lash that ends in a 10 plait point.

It was a fun project to do!

that is snazzy! met someone last weekend that has a couple of your pieces, btw.

Did they have bullwhips or signal whips that I made? Just curious.

The sting ray bullwhip is a bit to "flashy" for my personal taste in what I'd use...but I still think it looks cool! I could pictures some sort of circus ringmaster in a movie using it.

That looks pretty sweet, black and red makes the nicest whips.

And sting ray....ohhhh.

Did you cut your own lace or buy it?

8thsinner,

The lace I use is hand cut by me, I cut it with a box cutter. I don't use precut store bought lace because you don't know where from the hide it was cut from and I don't want any shrinkage when I plait them.

The lace in this bullwhip started at 3mm and tapered down to 2mm at just shy of the 4 foot mark where I started my strand drops.
