If you would like to have a custom made whip for yourself or if you need to contact me for any site related business you can contact me at Whipmaker@floridacrackerbullwhips.com and let me know what you would like. I currently produce Latigo and Nylon whips in length of 6' 7' 8' 10' 12' 14' 16' but other lengths can be made. I also make snake whips. Pricing is based on whip length, my standard whips have 9" handles and the total whip length is measured from the end of the butt knot on the handle to the end of the plait at the fall connection. The fall which is about 30" in length and cracker are not included in the measurement. If you want something that differs from the examples of my work posted on the GALLERIES page please don't hesitate to contact me and when I know exactly what you want I can quote you a price. A latigo fall can be substituted for my standard Para Cord fall if you prefer it upon request.
Take a look at the GALLERIES page which represents a small cross section of my product range. Each whip you see on the Galleries page is a custom made to order whip and therefore each whip is different to some degree. I am always improving my whip patterns and these improvements will be reflected in new whips I construct, exact duplicates of any whip you see will not be possible because each whip has its own character, but the reproductions will be very close and the quality and durability I build in to each whip will always be the same. I take my customers needs as one of the top priority's of my business just under quality. And to that end I will do my best to work with you to make the best whip I can for you, that will be exactly what you want. And if I feel that I can not make the right whip for your needs I will refer you to someone that I think can.
You will notice my whips don't have wrist loops I don't put wrist loops on because these whips are constructed with the working cattleman in mind and the last thing you want is to be on horseback with a whip attached to you by a wrist loop and have the whip get caught in a tree or on a fence post it will pull you off the horse and probably injure you severely. I will add wrist loops only upon request. The lead time on orders right now varies with demand and I will be able to give you a more accurate time frame once a whip is commissioned.
In order to commission a whip I request the commissioning cost for the whip to be paid in advance for me to start cutting out the whip. I request the remainder (Purchase Closing Cost) owed on the whip plus shipping and handling when the whip is complete and ready to ship. I typically ship within 24 hours of receiving final payment excluding week ends. I currently only ship United States Postal Service and shipping cost will vary with the destination and shipping priority you want. I can ship parcel post, priority mail, or express mail and upon completion, when the whip is ready to ship I can provide you with a shipping estimate for your preferred shipping method.Packaging and handling is the same for any order $11.00 I ship all my whips very well packed to insure that they arrive to you in pristine condition.
Caveats
A word to the wise, whips are not toys use them with care, if you strike an animal or a person with a whip it will cut them or worse it could break a bone. Wear protective eye wear when practicing with a whip, if the popper or point of the whip hits you in the face it could put out your eyes. The buyer is responsible for all liabilities associated with the use or misuse of any whip purchased. Always follow the North American Fire Arts Association (NAFAA) safety guidelines whenever using a fire whip. I stand behind my work and upon receiving your whip it is found defective, return it in unused condition and I will repair or exchange it for a like item at my discretion.
Please understand if the whip has been cracked or used in any way, I will return the whip to you in the same condition the whip came to me. I reserve the right to determine if the whip was used prior to return. When a whip has been commissioned, if you cancel your order via e-mail within 24 hours of the commissioning payment. I will refund your money but after 24 hours if the order is canceled. I reserve the right to retain all or part of the commissioning cost necessary to cover the cost of material ordered, the remainder if any will be refunded to you.
All pricing is subject to change at any time if there is an increase in price between the time an order is commissioned the balance due will be at the higher price. When a commissioned whip is complete I will e-mail the client notifying them the whip is ready for shipment and request the balance due. If I do not receive payment from the client within 5 calendar days of the initial notification. I will assume the whip has been abandoned and will offer the whip for public sale. No refund of any kind will be issued to the original commissioning client.
