Rhett is a one of a kind artist with whips! I used Rhett for the creation of an original piece for a theatrical production and he produced a beautiful whip to my specs, within budget and on time. I would recommend Rhett’s work to anyone looking for high quality craftsmanship!

I enjoyed seeing your nylon whip on Saturday. You seem to have handled the problem of the end of the whip being very light. Most I have seen are light in the point, and have to be cut back to get a crack out of them. Keep it up.
– David Morgan, Whipmaker
Way beyond my expectations! LOTS of fun! My arm is falling off. The wife came out after dark last night and told me to “quit popping that thing!”

Got the whip in the mail today Rhett and I gotta say, it is the most flowing and easy to crack whip I’ve ever layed my hand on. All my friends are surprised at the quality of it! You’re the nylon whip plaiter Rhett!!!!

I just got the [bullwhip] about an hour ago, and man am I impressed. This being my first whip I wasn’t sure what to be expecting but I had read up on how to do a couple of cracks and was able to do them successfully with the new whip. It’s got a good weight to it, love the color, and just couldn’t be happier with it.
– Mike, Texas

Got my new Stockwhip in last night and it’s a work of art. It cracks great and I can’t wait to make a couple myself. Thanks Rhett

Yes, the whips have arrived…..couldn’t wait to open the box. They’re beauties…..and now a prized possession. I am more that satisfied, and consider myself very fortunate to have them. I was looking foward to ordering them long before I even got around to doing so. Thanks for your outstanding dedication to craftsmanship and excellence.
– Robert, Texas
Hey Rhett I got my whip, thank you very much. I love the whip it’s very loud. In the future when I am looking for another whip you will be my first choice because your whips are awesome. And the colors are amazing. Thank you again for the whip.
– Austin, Washington
Received my beautiful black & white whip today with TOTAL satisfaction. You have surpassed my high expectations with this cow whip, and, your masterful craftsmanship has exceeded every other cow whip I own or have handled. The pattern, not only with the top of the thong, but throughout it`s length, is perfect. And, I love the handle; the flare is perfect, – creative, without straying too far from tradition. (In case your not getting the point, I REALLY LOVE this whip.)
– Rick, Florida
Recently as part of a swap between Rhett Kelley and myself I came into possession of a 14 ft nylon cow whip. I had always been a bit dismissive of these new fangled nylon whips. Who had ever heard of such a thing, whips made from nylon cord indeed, rubbish and poppycock. I’m a leather man, always have been and always will be or so I thought but now I’m not that sure anymore. I have to say that the whip Rhett made for me is one of the easiest I have cracked. I’ve never been a fan of long whips, anything over 8ft and your getting into hard work as far as I’m concerned but this whip, all 14 feet of it, cracks with the greatest of ease, falls nice and true and really goes of with a bang, dogs and cats shot off everywhere and were no where to be found for quite awhile. Good work Rhett and if anyone wants a nylon cow whip I highly recommend the whips that Rhett Kelley makes.
– Bernie Wojcicki, Whipmaker, Australia
I received my [cow whip] and thank you. All I can say is , WOOO HOOO !! It’s a beauty and it handles like a dream. I can see me doing business with you in the future.

Video Review of one of my WBSR cow whips by whipcracking coach, Robby Amper:
Rhett’s Florida Cow Whip tutorial DVD is a must have for anyone interested in creating a cow whip, performance hybrid whip, or any nylon whip. Mr. Kelley’s input is invaluable when it comes to whip making. The tutorial teaches a method of dropping core strands that I have never seen or read about before, which results in a smoother taper of the thong. Following his clear instructions I completed my very first whip in two afternoons. This DVD set is perfect for anyone interested in creating any type of nylon whip, or are simply interested as to what goes into a quality whip.
Thanks for the feedback Matt!
