6ft Handmade Weighted Bullwhip Whip Core/Belly w/Handle Indiana Jones Cowboy DIY


This is a handmade tapered and weighted core + handle ready for plaiting to turn into a custom bullwhip.


The core starts with three hollow lengths of paracord, 4ft, 5ft, and 6ft, which are filled with BBs and taped tightly together (see pic #7).


Three additional 6.5ft lengths of paracord are then added to the core and a 1/4” x 8” steel rod is lashed on, taped, then lashed and taped again to form the handle core.


The handle and core are wrapped in flexible athletic tape leaving about an inch of steel rod exposed at the base of the handle and only 3 strands of paracord exposed at the end (these will be plaited over by you when completing your whip).


This is a great tapered, weighted, flexible core that takes a lot of the work out of making your own amazing bullwhip.


Pictures #1-6 show an example of the core with handle that you will receive. It weighs approximately 1 pound and is between 6-7ft long with the average at 6.5ft. This is perfect for an 8ft+ bullwhip.


Picture #7 shows the three cord weighted and tapered core.


Picture #8 shows the core + handle with a belly plaiting added.
