Neat
Thanks for posting
That actually doesn’t show the important stuff.
I am not referring to the whole hunt whip, just the crop portion and how the popper/keeper is attached and wrapped with what appears to be waxed thread. I am interested in acquiring the skill to do what appears to be rather a fine art of braiding and wrapping the end of the crop to an attached popper/keeper. In looking at either crop or whip.

Shame - the video does not explain that.
Hey! I need to know how to attach (or reattach in my case because my dog chewed it😳) the keeper. It was split, nailed in with little brass tacks, and covered with waxed thread. Any ideas on a video that shows that part? I have looked but I’ve gotten lots of stuff that’s now huntwhips! By ladies named Storm Kitten etc!!! Haha
Shave down the part of the keeper that goes on the wood. Tack on. Tuck a loop of cord under the keeper on the shaft around your tack to secure the start end. Wrap with linen cord (not waxed). To secure the finishing end, lay a loop of cord under your last inch of wrapping with the eye at the end. Thread your last wrap through the loop and pull under the wrapping to secure the end. Make a spanish ring knot at top and bottom of wrapping. Apply several coats of shellac. (Bench vice helps)
