Cowwhips.com Online Again!

At long last Cowwhips.com is back up and running again! The outage lasted much longer than I had anticipated and I hope it will not be too detrimental to my business. The good thing about the outage is that it happened during a time I was not taking on new orders.

I”m running way behind due to a number of unforeseen issues with my job and extended family. Right now I’m working on orders from June.  July was a heavy month for incoming orders, so when I get started on July’s orders,  I expect it will take some time to work through them. For those who already have an order in with me, please rest assured that I am working as hard as I can to get to your order.

I am now going to start taking on new orders, but please note: I cannot guarantee a delivery date at this time. It looks as if the wait time will be around 16 weeks on a new order, but that could vary. Because of the length of the wait, I am not going to require a full prepayment for the order; a deposit of $25.00 will reserve a spot on my waiting list.

When I get some time to do some more writing, I want to share with you all the latest information on my son’s progress as a fledgling whipmaker.

That should get everything up to date for now…

Site Update

You’ve probably noticed that Cowwhips.com is still down. I found out that the problem is with the server company and that they aere moving their data centers, thus causing a temporary outage. I had hoped the issue would be resolved by now but it looks like it’s taking more time than originally planned.

Thanks for your patience. Hopefully things will be back to normal again very soon.

Looking for Cowwhips.com?

You may have noticed that my main website is not working right now. I don’t know what’s wrong but I have sent a message to my web designer to find out what is going on. I’m sure this will be corrected shortly and the site will be back up.

This site has lots of information and recent pictures of my whips, so please browse around here until Cowwhips.com is back up again.

Thanks!

Update

The Summer months have brought me a tremendous increase in ordering volume. That combined with the normal unexptected things of life, has brought me to the place where my waiting list was just getting out of hand. Therefore, I have decided to stop taking new orders until I get some of the existing back-log caught up. This will only be for a brief period of time. At the moment I decide to take on more orders, I’ll post the notification here.

Also, I am running a bit behind on the orders that I already have, perhaps 2 or 3 weeks behind schedule. So if you’re currently waiting on an order, please be patient. I will get your order to you as soon as I am able.

If you are looking for a new whip, I would be glad to make one for you once I start taking on more orders, but until then, please visit one of my friends and fellow nylon plaiters. The prices and waiting times for each  plaiter will vary, but at least it will give you some options until I am ready to take on new orders:

Ron Allen – nylonwhips.com

Joe Driver - joescustomwhips.com

Steve Koliski – 21stcenturywhips.com 

Thanks!

Cow Whip for Whip Weekend 10

The Dallas Fort Worth Whip Enthusiasts Group’s  “Whip Weekend 10″ is fast approaching. This year I am happy to announce that I have made a whip to donate to the DFW group in order to help support the event.

The whip I am sending is a unique cow whip that features an Aussie style fall hitch instead of the traditional tapering twist -the only cow whip I’ve ever made with this design. The handle is 16 inch and made from durable, yet light weight Stratabond, a colorful hardwood laminate. The thong is 4.5 ft in charcoal gray; the handle colors are rust and black. If you can attend “WWX,” you might get a chance at becoming the owner of this one-of-a-kind whip .

Update

Hello everyone!

It has been a while since I’ve posted anything. Things have been very busy, so I have had to focus on other things.

I am in the midst of making a decision about attending an event October. The problem is I don’t know which event I want to attend. As soon as I decide, I will post an announcement here.

Business is great and if you are planning on ordering whips for Christmas, now is the time to get in those orders.

Thanks!

Donate and maybe win a whip!

My friend and fellow whipmaker, Steve Huntress is still raising money for his 2009 Hike for Cancer project. I recently sent him a 6ft cow whip to use as a prize for the drawing he will be doing for donors who give $25.00 or more. This is a great opportunity to support a good cause and maybe even win a new whip!  Visit Steve’s blog for more information.

Thanks!

Indy Style Nylon Bullwhip

Are you a fan of the Indiana Jones movies, but can’t see spending $600.00 -$1000.00 on a leather replica of the Dr. Jones’  famous whip? I’m happy to offer a solution: The Cowwhips.com Indy Style Nylon Bullwhip!

While nylon bullwhips are not considered “screen accurate,” I can build you a nylon bullwhip that is similar in design to the whips used in the movie -and at a fraction of the cost!

As with all of my nylon bullwhips, this whip is shot loaded and built from top quality nylon cord with 2 plaited bellies and a 16 plait overlay. The fall is made of white nylon to simulate  the look of the whitehide falls that were on the original Indy whips. The whip weighs in at 1 lb., 6 ounces and has been dipped in paraffin; so even if you’re on an adventure and end up in a river, your whip will be just fine. This whip cracks loud and with ease.

For nylon Indy Whips at unbeatable prices,think Cowwhips.com!
