Howdy! This section will cover pricing for leatherwork. I have been studying leather whip making since 2018, and actively practicing since 2022.

Modern Bullwhips 

These whips have plaited bellies made from kangaroo hide. They are generally stiffer and lighter than their traditional counterparts. They’re great for target work and routines. If you want a whip that breaks in and conforms to your unique swing, then you’re looking for a Modern Bullwhip. On the market, they’re generally known as “Australian,” “Aussie,” or “Target” whips. 

Whips are measured by the braided section of the whip. 

My 4ft bullwhips have an 8” spring steel handle foundation, a braided kangaroo belly, veg tanned core and bolster and a 2ft alum tanned latigo fall.

4ft Bullwhips: $350

All the other lengths (6-12ft) can be made with a 10-12” spring steel handle foundation, or an 8” nail spike like an Indiana Jones style bullwhip. These whips will have 2 Kangaroo bellies, 1-2 bolsters, and a veg tan core. They’ll typically have a 34” alum tanned latigo fall. Unless a 6 strand hitch is requested, whips will be 12 plait with an 8 strand fall hitch. 

5ft Bullwhips: $450

6ft Bullwhips: $475

Fancy Plaiting: on 16 plait whips, I’ll include some basic patterning. 

Higher plait counts than 20 with non standard patterning (letters etc) will start at +$150

Traditional Bullwhips

I make a traditional style bullwhip with chrome split bellies. These naturally weighted bullwhips are a slightly heavier option. They flow slow and steady before delivering a powerful sonic boom. If you're familiar with Tom Hill and his apprentices, the Rolling Loop Method by Anthony De Longis, David Morgan, Terry Jacka or other 20th century whip makers, then you'll understand what I'm attempting to recreate with these whips. They are typically 12 plait with an 8 point fall hitch, and a 10-12 inch spring steel handle foundation. I'm happy to make them with an 8-10 inch nail spike like an Indiana Jones bullwhip upon request. On the market, you will typically see these marketed as “American, “Stunt,” or “Working” whips.

Interpersonal Whips

Interpersonal whips are generally made with a shot bag for the core of the whip, a belly, and a 12 plait kangaroo hide overlay. Signal whips get a UHMWPE (Dyneema/Spectra) braided point with a loop that allows for changing the cracker. Interpersonal whips can be dyed to fade from one color to another (red, black and blue dye available).
