Mojave Outliers Whipmakers Colors Available

Copy and paste version: desert.minx@mojaveoutliers.com

Please note, first of all, that all the kangaroo leather I use is veg tan. No chrome tan, no matter what the color. I make all of my own lace, you see, and chrome tan kangaroo leather is too supple to cut cleanly, nor to size, bevel, taper and split. It’s also super stretchy, moreso than veg tan.

I’ll keep this page updated with the different colors of leather I currently have available, along with pictures to give you an idea. Bear in mind, of course, that you’re looking at these pictures on a computer screen–in real life the actual appearance may be a little different, especially since different computers and browsers have different color protocols. In addition, dye lots may vary somewhat.

Oolong Whip - yellow sample

Here’s an example of the yellow I have currently, granted again this is a photo on a computer screen. The implement itself is an Oolong Whip, an extended dragon’s tongue…

I sometimes have white available, I tend to order it when I have a specific request for it. Please ASK me first before getting your heart set on it, because white kangaroo hide is very hard to get and quite expensive, as it’s falconry grade, and so quite thick and heavy–depending on how much white you want, there may be an upcharge.

This is an example of a snake whip (built 3-14-2018) with an all white Falconry Grade overlay, at 16 plait (4ft long).  I used kinda "dramatic" lighting with only a key light, because the white tends to reflect light a lot more.  Even so, as you can see the heavier leather (in this case, the hide measured 1.43 mm at the tail) creates more of a profile compared to regular thicknesses of kangaroo lace.  She is nonetheless quite smooth, because I beveled both sides of the lace on the underside.

Yes, I do have green, now–it’s an “emerald green,” and I’ve included a photo of a pair of whips with this green leather in it below. The top whip also gives an example of natural kangaroo hide treated with Obenauf’s leather conditioner.
