We have some very, very good Whip Makers on the planet, when it comes to leather whips. Especially whips from roohide. A lot of whip makers advertise their stuff as "Made from 1st grade Roo" or "Made from the best Roohide available". And then the inner material - the bolsters - are made from cow. Cowhide is very good for adding weight and balance. No doubt about that. But...It is way cheaper than roo!
And so you should be really sure that the whip is made from the materials which are advertised. But I mentioned that several times before, and more and more Whip Makers have in veeeeeeery small letters written "Bolsters from the best cowhide!" You're welcome, folks... There are a few great whip makers, when it comes to roohide whips. For example Giovanni Celeste (Italy) and - in this video - Simon Martin (Tasmania). Just take a look and you will see...
