I haven’t bought a whip since 2001, but after I saw the latigo whips made by Skip SanSoucie at Handmadewhips.com, I knew I had to have one! I ordered a 6ft bullwhip with a bocote handle for myself, and a hunting whip for my wife. The whips arrived today and I am very proud to [...]

Florida, First in America: Cattle, Horses, and Cowboys
This video will give you just a tiny taste of why I am so proud of my Florida Cracker heritage: The bottom line: The Florida cow whip isn’t some new fangled whip that we just came up with in the past few decades, it has a rich hertiage that goes back almost 500 years… Floridacrackermovie.com

Whip Wilson: Nylon Whips Down Under
When I first started plaiting cow whips as a youngster, I would have never imagined that I would end up making whips that would be used all over the world. To date, my whips have been bought, or used, on every Continent but Antarctica. One of the toughest places to get orders -as a nylon [...]

Deer Hide Project Update
Within a few weeks I will be buying the supplies I will need to start bark tanning my own deer leather. I have looked and looked, and I’m just about certain that there are no commercial sources for top quality bark tanned deer hides. I’ve found plent of places that sell tanned deer hides, but [...]

Price Update
One of my goals as a whipmaker has always been to sell whips at an affordable price. While I still want to do that, there comes a time when you understand that the demand for your product is so high you just cannot keep up and that your prices are probably a bit too low. [...]

Mo’ Guts = Mo’ Better!
In Australia, they have a saying: “A whip is like a man… no guts, no good.” With that thought in mind, I’m pleased to announce that I have redesigned my bullwhips so that they have more in the “guts” department than what they did previously. When I first started making bullwhips, I basically modified my [...]

Leather Project Update
I’m now in phase two of my leather project. Phase one was to make a cow whip out of pre-cut kangaroo lace. This project was very instructive. I ended up with a 6ft whip that would be better suited as a belly for an 8ft whip. The diameter of the whip is small because of [...]

Waiting List Estimate
I just want to post a quick note to say that I am now estimating my waiting list to be around 6 or 7 weeks in length… Orders have really been flooding in this week at a rate I have not seen in quite a while. From what I hear, other whipmakers are seeing similar [...]
