Bullwhip
Cracking is fun and easy.
You can master it in no time at all.
These
beautifully crafted bullwhips are a joy to throw. From their
dense "Double
Plaited Belles" and full length plaited cores. To their
medium weighted, 12 inch, steel core handle. The well thought
out design
of these bullwhips makes them a great choice for target or trick
work.
When
buying a bullwhip you should know it is critical that the balance
and taper of the belly is just right. Otherwise a bullwhip will
not fly straight or transfer energy efficiently to the cracker.
A "Double
Plaited Belly" starts with a full length plaited core.
Then belly #1 made up of a plaited layer and a "bolster" is
added. (A "bolster" is a precisely fitted and tapered
strip of leather that wraps around the belly of a whip.) Over
top of that we add belly #2 consisting of another plaited layer
with a higher number of laces and another bolster. This whip
within a whip design forms the "double plaited belly" of
the bullwhip. The "overlay" or outer layer of laces
is then plaited over this double plaited belly. So you see,
there are actually two fully plaited whips inside the outer
layer of this bullwhip. I take the utmost time and care in the
creation of each and every belly to insure that all of my bullwhips
are the highest quality possible. |
