However, if anyone is interested, there are several other top whip makers available, in the U.S., Australia and New Zealand. Most use kangaroo hide, primarily, for reasons already covered here. If anyone would like additional info, provided you are not already acquainted with, would be happy to provide contact information.

I just receeived my new Red and Black 9 foot, 16 strand bullwhip from David Bould in NSW, Australia. Beautifully done. Boulds' web-site can be found at: WWW.healey.com.au/HOMEPAGES/derek. The whip cost me $215.00 and he does not distinguish between mono-tone and two-tone in his prices. He said 4 weeks and that is what it took.
Another whipmaker in Australia is Si Davey @ WWW.whips.Com.au
