Toheti Cane: Durable Material or Brittle Junk?
The dreaded scenario goes something like this: You’re at a whip practice and inadvertently leave your whip bag on the ground. Some very inattentive person comes walking up, doesn’t see your bag lying there, and steps right on it. Simultaneously, you hear a loud “crack,” but it doesn’t come from the popper of the Noreast [...]

An Explanation of New Price Structure
Before I begin accepting orders again, I want to post a brief explanation of my new price schedule. For years I have tried to be somewhat of a “low price leader” among nylon whipmakers. (I guess working for Walmart Logistics for 14+ years has had an effect on my business philosophy.) While my prices have [...]

Just Finished!
Here’s the latest stockwhip I’ve made… It is charcoal gray with imperial red highlights, 6ft long with a 20″ half plait handle made from authentic toheti cane from Australia. It really cracks nicely.

Beware of Self-Proclaimed Masters!
Something I have been noticing over the last couple of years is really starting to bother me. I’m seeing novice whipmakers on the web and on eBay trying to peddle whips that look like garbage all while proclaiming themselves to be “master whipmakers.” I’ve been making nylon whips for the better part of 20 years [...]

2009 in Review
As 2009 now comes to a close, we witness the passing of what will be remembered as a tough year for lots of people. But even in a difficult economy, I’ve seen that people continue to buy whips; thus 2009 was a great year for my business. I had many wonderful customers who provided me [...]

Coral Snake Stockwhip
The coral snake pattern has been one of my most popular patterns for cow whips. Back in April, a lady placed an order for a 4ft Australian stockwhip with that same pattern. At first I didn’t make any guarantees on if I could do it on a stockwhip. With stockwhips, the keeper is a flat [...]
