Members bernie Posted February 23, 2013 Members Report Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) I was recently asked to make a 32 plait 3 tone bull whip for a customer. The commission was that the body of the whip had to look like a coral snake colours yellow,red,yellow black. The main thing and the most difficult was to make sure that the strips of colour went around the whip in one ring and not all over the place. Might look easy but it took a bit of working out. The handle design was left up to me.This is the photo I was given to work off.http://snakesfb.blogspot.com.au/2013/01/coral-snake.html Edited February 23, 2013 by bernie Quote Kind Regards Bernie From The Wild Western Tiers Of Tasmania Australia Where the women are strong The men good looking and the children all above average.

Members MakerUnknown Posted February 23, 2013 Members Report Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) Superb! Unbelievably beautiful. Not knowing too much about whips, what is that white area above the handle? I can't see what's going on there in the photo?

Members bernie Posted February 23, 2013 Author Members Report Posted February 23, 2013 Superb! Unbelievably beautiful. Not knowing too much about whips, what is that white area above the handle? I can't see what's going on there in the photo? That is an engraved sterling silver ring. When asked I supply engraved silver rings with initials or logos. I make each ring and engrave it myself to fit the whip.
