The plaited kangaroo stockwhip is a prized posession amongst whipmakers and Australian stockmen. A top quality whip takes a long time to make, and because of this it can be expensive. With this book you should be able to make your own kangaroo stockwhip for a fraction of the cost of a purchased one made by a good whipmaker. If you have never made a whip before, you may be better off starting with Whipmaking Book One. The kangaroo stockwhip is a complicated item, because the strands you plait are finer than cowhide whips, and these are plaited over a four plait whip, so it is two whips in one.
