Standard Bullwhip
A nylon bullwhip custom-designed to your specifications.
The whips can begin with either a steel spike handle foundation (max length of 12 inches) or a fiberglass one.
I can build the whip to have either a moderate or light action.
The main difference between the two would be the amount of additional weight in the core.
Moderate - Core loaded with steel shot.
Light - Tapered nylon core.
Aside from that, the rest of the construction for both whips is the same, consisting of an 8 plait belly with, a 12 plait belly, and a 16 plait overlay.
The whip can be ended in a traditional Australian fall hitch (4 plait) or a tapered twist.
A 6 or 8 plait wrist-loop can be added for $10.
Suggestions for construction combinations based on whip style.
