Nylon Whips: Opinions Have Changed

Kelley Bullwhip on World Wide Whips

Kelley Whips: The Next Generation, Part II
Here’s the follow up post to the announcement about my son making his first cow whip. You’ll have to pardon me in this post as this is simply one really proud dad boasting to the world about his offspring’s accomplishments. As you will see from the photos, Cordell did a good job on his whip. [...]

Neon Indy Whip
This past week I had the chance to make a very unique Indian Jones style bullwhip for a stuntman who lives in Florida. It’s a 10ft, 16 plait bullwhip made neon yellow paracord. It will be used in a blacklight show so it will glow very bright. The fellow who ordered the whip is accustomed [...]
