Whip Plaiting Styles:
1) Fancy Whipmakers plait – herringbone plaiting, sectioned into quarters with checkerboard section by the knot and birdseye sections further down (this is our standard whip plaiting pattern)

2) Chevrons – herringbone plaiting, sectioned into chevrons
3) Signature plait – two colours, the main colour plaited in whipmakers/herringbone and the second colour adds detail for the knot, fall (snake & bull whips) and the transition knot (bull whips)

Handle Plaiting Styles:
These are used for both our plaited flogger and dragon handles, and also our bullwhips (non-standard, e-mail to ask about this)
1) Quartered (also ‘whipmakers’) – two or four colours in herringbone plaiting, sectioned into quarters
Picture: quartered in two colours
2) Birdseye – a more time consuming style that gives a lovely squares-within-squares pattern, often used for detail sections on whips or whole handles
Picture 1: two colour birdseye
Picture 2: single colour birdseye
3) Quartered With Birdseye – a ‘taste’ of fancy whipmakers plait suitable for handles, this has quartered sections with a small section of birdseye in the middle
