Cow Hide Crystal Skull Whip.
My Crystal Skull whips are made useing 1st grade finest English kip hide. These whips are great budget whips with the look and feel of roo hide.
All my Crystal Skull whips are made starting with a 7 inch fibre glass rod attached to a plaited leather core. Then the first 6 plait belly followed with the first bolster. A second belly is then plaited in 8 plait. Now I add the last thick cow hide bolster then the final overlay in 12 plait ending in 8 plait finished with an Austrailian style fall hitch. I use a special binding technique between all layers of the whip exclusive to Midland Whips to ensure a solid transition from handle to thong. This is taken out further on the Crystal Skull whip than the standard Indy whips, The whip is finished with 2 Turks head knots, 6 bite taken twice around the transition and twice around the butt, with a 4 strand wrist loop, an Indian tanned latigo fall and a black cracker.
