This was an interesting one to say the least, my customer and I were trying for a "Catwoman's ultimate weapon" feel to go with a cosplay he made with his own hands, and this is what we landed on. The finished whip has a contoured handle with a solid houndstooth pattern (my favorite), a braided spine to evoke a cat's arched back, and bellies braided a little more like you'd find in a Terry Jacka bull whip as homage to Michelle Pfeiffer's whip from Batman Returns. The knots and spine are done in brandy as subtle accents. I loved working on this whip, it's one of my favorites I've ever made, and it just feels powerful in the hand
