Internal Bullwhip Construction

Standard Bullwhip Construction























Core: This is the first layer of a whip.  It is a piece of solid leather that is at the center of the whip. 

First Belly: This is the first braided layer of the whip.  It is generally 4 plait, and is braided around the core.

First Bolster: This is a solid piece of leather that covers the first braided layer.  It builds up the mass of the whip, and creates a solid smooth cirular piece to braid the next layer around.

Second Belly: This is the second braided layer of the whip.  It is generally 4 plait, and is braided around the first bolster, first belly, and the core.

Second Bolster: This is the final bolster.  It is a solid piece of leather that encircles the previous layers.  It, again, builds up the mass of the whip, and creates a solid smooth round piece to braid the Overlay around.

Overlay: This is the final layer of braiding.  It can be braided in 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 32, 36, 40, and 48 plait.  Most higher plait counts include fancy patterns in the braiding.
