The ash hunting & kennel whips are handcrafted from trees grown locally for this purpose.
Traditional hunting whips have antler handles of high quality, sourced from native red deer within the UK. All have leather-covered shafts, with a choice of either, silver or nickel collars, which can easily be personally engraved.
Hunt servants whips have a white nylon braiding on the shafts, which are made of fibreglass for added strength. David also makes wooden hunting horns crafted from walnut or yew, which have been known to win horn blowing competitions.
David also provides a swift efficient repair service on old whips.
