Available:
A classic whip for long reins.
The thorn wood is a pleasant yellow color, what I call "Swaine yellow" the most traditional of whip colors.
The natural knots are highlighted with burns in the central part. Satbilized with a long seasoning, oils and shellac finish.
The kangaroo leather thoong, the most resistant of all, is ivory in color, not the bright white that is seen in all modern whips.
The length of the thong (last photo) also makes it usable for riding a tandem horse.
I deliberately do not mount the lash on these whips, to avoid it being knotted in the harness, in case the whip is used on the leaders.
Conical handle covered in black ostrich leather, entirely hand-sewn with very small stitches, is completed with German silver cap and ferrule.
Very well balanced in the hand.

NO Available: traveling for the 2024 competitions
A classic model of elegant whip.
Thorn wood stick, ebonized with the thorns remaining visible for a play of color contrast.
The handle is made of noble material but in compliance with international protection laws, it is a pleasant work of sculpture with attention to detail, which fits well in the hand.
The collar is made of silver, with a small strap engraved on it.
The thong is made of finely woven kangaroo leather, the lasch can be removed without compromising the braiding work. It is mounted on the stick with b***n (comes from old umbrellas from the early 19th century) and goose quills.
For info please send a private message to the P.'S Whips page. Thank you.

Available :
This type of whip is called "dog leg", it is a whip also suitable for rainy days.
The water slides down the pole until it meets the bend and then cannot go any further, as long as the pole is held correctly, this prevents you from getting your hands wet.
This whisk has been balanced so that this happens naturally in your hands.
Made of thorny wood seasoned for several years and finished with shellac, the curve is perfectly aligned with the tip and has a knot in the wood that resembles a small cabochon.
The ivory kangaroo leather lace ends with a red eyelash.
The leather covered handle is stitched in the traditional way.
The cap and ring are in German Silver.
For further information send a message to the page, thanks.

Available:
made of long-seasoned thorn wood, it is treated, colored and finished with French polishing. The classic burning was done in the "thorns".
The ivory kangaroo leather thong is perfectly conical and finely woven. Upon request, a colored lash can be added.
The handle is covered in crocodile leather, stitched in small stitches, respecting tradition.
The ring and cap are made of silver, and the work done by the silversmith recalls the scales of the coating.
Perfectly balanced in the hand, I would say a perfect whip.
It is not a commercial product and therefore an appropriate price is asked for.
For further information, send a private message to the P.'s Whips page. Thank you.

Stripes and exotics will be in fashion this year

05/04/2024

Available:
Whip in holly wood, the classic wood most used for carriage whips. The color is an amber yellow and has natural shades. It remained matured for a few years, before being treated to make it last over time. The finish is French polishing.
The handle covered in real exotic leather (the leather of the handles are found in Italian luxury craftsmanship).
The ring and cap are made of German silver, then gold plated, this allows respecting the matching colors of Tradition and avoiding blackening if brass is used.
The thong is made of ivory kangaroo leather and is tied with baleen and goose quills, again as per tradition.
It ends with a red flash that can be removed or changed color.
For further information, send a private message to the P.'s Whips page. The photos are not special, I am not a photographer but just a whip maker.
Have a nice weekend.

The stick, made of the best thorn wood which has retained part of the bark, after it has been treated to make it stable, acts as a handle.
The cap is a pleasant Boxer dog head in 925 silver, which embellishes the whole.
Thong made of kangaroo leather, the most resistant by far, is tied to the stick with quills and baleen, in maximum respect for the tradition of carriage whipmakers.
The baleen, an essential part of a classic whip, are made from old umbrellas from the 1800s, bought on the antiques market.
The manufacturing steps and the use of excellent materials make these whisks special even in their simplicity.
For info, send a message to the FB page, thanks.

Available:
a simple whip but with details that give it character.
The stick is made of thorn wood, after long seasoning and treatments, the pleasantly wrinkled bark has become an excellent handle. The color presents pleasant nuances.
I wanted to give the vision of a simple cut branch, but it was embellished with a nickel silver cap, with chiselings that recall the knots of the stick, with the addition of a golden material to make it more wrinkled.
Stick cut as freshly harvested and with visible wooden rings.
The lace is made of kangaroo leather, always mounted with the classic method of all my whips. A green eyelash completes the whole thing.
For further information send a message to the page, thanks.
