'Temple of Doom' bullwhip, by CNC

[macauirr]

I just wanted to share some pics of my 'Temple of Doom' whip, which I received today.
Hand-made by Dusty (Crease N Corral), and a true beauty indeed. It is a 9ft, 12-plait, cowhide whip. Wonderfully plaited, perfectly balanced, astounding finish...I couldn't speak high enough of Dusty's craftsmanship and customer service!

Somebody in this forum was recently enquiring about where to buy a good Indy whip without spending silly money.
Well...Dusty is your man for a leather whip. He will deliver a screen-accurate work-of-art at a very affordable price. You don't have to spend several hundreds of bucks on a kangaroo-hide whip - stick to cowhide for a fraction of the price! And the finish is really beautiful.
I also cracked the whip soon after opening the box...and it is loud and responsive. Superb whip.


For Nylon whips, I can recommend James Emery (from classicwhips.com). I own one of his 10ft 'Raiders' whips, in natural-tan paracord, and it's a great item.

The same as I said when I got my 'Raiders' fedora from John Penman... My search for the perfect (and affordable) Indy whip has now come to an end after many years. The quest has ended. I need to seek no more.

There are only two things remaining to complete my perfect Indy gear collection:

- The 'Raiders' revolver (S&W 1917), by Tanaka Works
- The 'Raiders' shirt, by Azuma.

The first item I cannot import due to strict gun laws within the UK. The shirt...well, this very much depends on when Azuma gets to find the right fabric to start production. He's been searching for a long time now.


I couldn't be happier with my two whips.
The only real pain are the abusive Custom charges one has to face when living in the UK and importing stuff from outside the European Union! But those of you in the US are safe!!

I will one day post some pics of my full Indy gear - once this is complete.
In the meantime, I am attaching some pictures of my 'Temple of Doom' (Crease N Corral) whip, also shown together with my 'Raiders' nylon one - the latter made by James Emery.

Fortune and Glory to everybody!!

Does anybody else see that on the heel knot in this picture? Look at it closely, let me know if you see something odd...


Really nice looking whips though, congrats on the purchases ( whenever they were )

Dear HenryJonesVictor,

Thanks for your praise! Yeah...I am really happy with those whips.

Dusty (from CNC) gave me a wait time of around 6 months from the moment I placed the order - based on his existing order list.

However, he contacted me earlier this month to say that he had managed to catch up with his work - and he sent me the whip 2 months earlier than anticipated!
Therefore, my waiting time was of 4 months only!

Hope this helps.

4 MONTHS?!

What about the waiting time at classicbullwhips.com??

That's actually not very long a wait when it comes to quality. What's a 4 month wait compared to a lifetime of ownership? I can't say firsthand the quality of Dusty's whips, but I've heard nothing but positive reviews. I'm saving up to order a Crease-n-Crusader whip.

I'm not very familiar with Classic Whips. If you want to know the wait time, I would email them.

There's a really nice guy in Texas who makes affordable whips that I can compliment firsthand. His name is Gus Caicedo. I bought one of his whips a couple of years ago. It's a little small, but very well constructed.

I don't use mine much since I have a couple of other whips that I prefer. I did, however, play around a little today and it still cracks nicely. I was actually considering selling it.

macauirr,

The pictures look great.
Thank you for the review and congrats' on the nylon whip, it's a beauty.

To henryjonesvictor,

As for the wait time, I recently posted on another thread that I have 5 slots left for pre-Christmas whip orders. Which means the next 5 people that place a whip order will recieve their whip after Thanksgiving and before Christmas this year. First come first serve, the sixth order won't be ready 'til after Christmas.

Hope this helps,
-Dusty

If you're needing a really short time, like 3-4 weeks, I could make you a whip. I have a few styles and lengths that fit into the price range you mentioned on another thread.

I'll send you a PM.

Down to 4 slots left for pre-Christmas delivery.

Mr. Fusion, You are so right on your statement. Waiting four months is nothing compared to getting the best quality for your dollars and the lifetime of enjoyment you will get out of it. Be patient and be smart. I have one of Dusty's whips and was pleasantly surprised by his work. I'm one picky bastard and Dusty's work is fantastic. He is also a very easy guy to deal with and you won't be sorry.

I have been out of the game for awhile but man those CNC whips are nice looking at a decent price too! I need to quit buying soon to be banned firearms and magazines and get me one!

That sure is a nice whip by Dusty! If only I had more money to spend...

Those sure are some nice pics of the TOD whip. I cant wait to get mine, hopefully in a couple of months!

I also have an 8 foot "Indy Whip" coming from the 808 Craftsman's Company in Hawaii.  I just ordered it a couple of days ago. 
I got 8 foot purely because I am new to whip cracking and 10 foot looked a bit too long for me.
I needed a good quality nylon whip because of the wet climate where I live.  (I'm hoping I can bust out the CnC ToD whip as soon as I get it too though!)

Anyone who is interested should check out Keanu's website at:  www.808cco.com

It's a 3 belly, with a 16 plait overlay.
