Over the last few whips I had some leftover leather that needed to be used so I made a pair of 3ft. pocket snake whips. They are 8 plait ending in an 8 plait point- shot loaded core, two plaited roo bellies, 1 bolster. They have 6 bight pineapple heel knots, whitehide falls, and that's about it 
Here's a few pics.

I measured them in a few areas with my caliper and they were always .5mm or less in diameter of each other.
I did a few test cracks with them ( it was dark so no video ) and was able to do some fast two handed cracking with them. I was able to get some machine gun bursts out of them so fast and convincing the neighbors were probably taking cover :lol: They're fun to use, and and since they're pocket snakes, after some breaking in they'll be able to comfortably fit in a large pocket.
I may try to get some video of them in action tomorrow, depends on if I can get a cameraman or not. Let me know what you guys think!
These are also for sale. I'll be putting up a thread in the for sale section shortly, same pictures, same info, etc. Just with prices.
