Core for the fourth whip
Whip #4 will be a six-foot stockwhip. The core has four strands, 1', 2', 3' and 5'. The three shortest are loaded with equal lengths of chain. The 5' strand has 4' inner strands left and the last foot is coreless.
The whole thing has been twisted around itself before taping for tighter result.
The core does not taper smoothly, so that I can (hopefully) use the "drop-points" to drop strands from outer layers thus creating smoother taper for the end result. We shall see.
