Honestly? I think there would be diminished returns in getting one made with multiple falls.
With the one, you are getting all the force of your swing concentrated into one spot, allowing light effort for a significant impact. Rather than the flogger, you’re going to have to swing it harder to keep all of the falls together and it’s going to distribute all of that force across the body rather erratically, giving you less control in what you’re hitting

Quick question. Can you make a matching set in a custom color? I’m looking for something more muted, like dusty plum, olive, or warm brown. Just want it to feel more personal than black. Totally fine if not, just figured I’d ask before ordering.
18:00
I can totally do that, can you give me some visual swatches of the colors you’re looking for?
18:01
Yes, I have to do some things take my kids to see the Superman movie, but I will think about it and get back to you later today. Thank you so much for your time and patience. I appreciate it.

Sorry for the late reply. Can you do a set in Oxblood
20:35
Totally okay, is this a good color match or are you looking for darker?
20:38
Thanks for showing me that leather, I appreciate it. I like the look, but for this flogger I would prefer something a little darker, closer to a muted burgundy or wine tone. Do you have any other darker shades or muted tones similar to the ones in these pictures? If not, do you think you could source something like that?
21:17
On hand, not likely. But I could most likely source something, i’ll just have to dig through my sample books from my suppliers
21:19
I wonder if adding a little black leather dye or something would work
21:24
I suppose I could color it after I get it?
21:24
For veg-tan leathers that would work, but the leathers I use come predyed and sealed, making them difficult to modify in that manner
21:25
Do you have any other colors?
21:44
So these are the colors I have in my office right now.
I have a small handful of other colors in my storage unit, but I likely won’t be able to get pictures of those to you tonight

Ok, im a Soft Autumn and trying to match all my gear to my seasonal colors 😆 if you could see if you can get anything like the Oxblood or the others I would appreciate it.
21:51
so these are burgundy, rasberry, and maroon respectively, these are pictures from my supplier. I can get you photos from my sample book tonight or tomorrow. to show them in a more real setting
21:57
theres also scarlet, but this seems to be moving more towards purple than what you may want
21:58
This is burgundy?
22:01
Correct
22:01
OK, I’ll take a pair of the meteors in burgundy. Thank you.
22:02
Awesome, do you have a payment method preference?
22:05
Not really
23:06
Venmo is probably the easiest

Sorry for the radio silence, the leather got in Friday and I figured I would just knock it out asap.
They’re ready to pick up our delivery. I can also ship it no extra charge should you so please
I also happen to have more of this color for if you were wanting other things within the same color scheme

sorry I meant to say thank you but I got distracted typing my address 😆
16:16
i’m happy to pay for the shipping costs. What other types of leather goods can you make?
16:16
Understood. They’ll be shipped first thing tomorrow
16:17
Thank you for offering but there’s no need to pay shipping.
As for other leather goods, I make single floggers
Florentine floggers (both with handles and finger loops)
Dragon tails
Cat-O-ninetails
And I’m currently working on a prototype for a belt pouch but that’s more of a ren fest thing

16:18
And since I have the leather already in front of me. I could probably knock out a pair of finger loop Florentines before I threw the meteor hammers in the mail tomorrow
16:22
Can you send me a picture of like one of each of those? I’m more of a visual person
16:23
Totally understand, let me grab some pics
16:24
Single flogger w/ a stainless steel handle
16:26
Finger loop floggers
16:26
Single flogger with standard wooden handle (walnut)
16:26
Dragon tail on standard wooden handle
16:26
I like all of them. I probably prefer the rounded handle better. Do you have enough material to make any of these
16:29
I likely have enough material to make all of them if you wanted me to.
16:32
Turned wooden handles would take me a bit because I’m about to move, so my lathe is unavailable. I do have 2 of the stainless steel handles on hand, But they’re much pricier
16:35
How much is one with the stainless steel handle?
16:35
And how much are the finger floggers
16:36
So, with a standard amount of leather (48 falls, 1/2” wide and 18” long) on the stainless steel handles in burgundy and black would be $155
And a pair of finger floggers with the same amount of leather on each of them would be $175
To make them even more thuddy, (%50 more leather) would be
$180 for the Stainless steel
And
$225 for the Florentines

16:44
Which would you recommend?
16:50
I don’t have anything else other than like a riding crop right now 😆
16:51
Personally, I think the thuddy finger floggers give you the most versatility.
Because you can either use one at a time, use them together in a poi-like motion for more rhythmic beatings. Or, if you don’t want to learn the poi motion, you can put both of them in the same hand and it’s now a single flogger twice as heavy

16:52
There’s nothing wrong with that. We all gotta start somewhere. My first implement was actually a dragon tail made by bound bunny boutique. And it was my only toy for about 6 months
16:53
So you think I should get a pair of finger floggers with 50% more leather?
16:57
Yea, but the regular finger floggers would also be a good fit for someone just starting to build their bag
16:58
whatever you would recommend
17:00
I would go with the larger ones
17:00
Ok so that’s $225?
17:01
Yes sir
17:01
What color is the hardware?
17:01
All black, the hardware would look just like this, just burgundy leather instead of blue
17:03
Ok I really like the softer gray on the clip
17:04
Do I pay you in full now?
17:05
Yes sir, and I’ll get them started right away
17:06
OK, remind me where do I send it again?
17:06
Do you have a picture of one with 50% more leather?
17:06
Right here works best
17:07
Let me see if I have a picture comparing them side-by-side
17:07
Payment was sent
17:10
You don’t have to compare them side-by-side. I was just curious if you had a picture of the one that was a little bit fuller so I could send to a friend.
17:10
Received. Starting on it now
17:10
You can ship them together or separately. I don’t have any subs right now. 😆
17:13
These are ones with %50 more
17:15
That definitely does give it a girthier feel! Looks very nice thank you

Tracking number
15:29
Ah ok. Did you have to include black in it to fill it out? Sorry I was confused. I didn’t know if that was mine or not.
15:31
Ah, yes this is yours. I do usually include black to fill it out and add some visual depth, as they can tend to look smaller if it’s all a single color even with the same amount of leather.
With all of that being said. If that’s not what you wanted. Once you receive the package, I’d be more than happy to echange them for and all burgundy pair

Ok Awesome! Thank you very much! I appreciate the fast turnaround time!
15:35
Of course! I’m always glad to help

September 19, 2025
Hey, I just wanted to reach out to see if you got your package, and if you wanted to exchange those Florentines for an all burgundy pair?
22:37
Hey, thanks so much for checking in. I was crazy busy today. I really appreciate the quick turnaround and the care you put into these. I actually like how the black adds some depth and contrast, so I’m happy to keep this pair. They look great, and I’m really impressed with the craftsmanship. One quick question though: do you have any tips for brushing off the little leather shavings from the falls? I just want to make sure I clean them the right way and keep them looking sharp. Thanks again!
23:21
Totally understand, I do appreciate you getting back to me.
As for cleaning, you can use a very soft bristle brush to get any of the loose suede off of the falls, if they’re being stubborn on the edges you can trim with scissors. But there’s going to be some shedding for the first few uses as it’s brand new leather, and it needs a bit of breaking in

23:24
I’m guessing I shouldn’t get them wet or oil them or do anything like that
23:25
And of course, if anything happens to break or go awry you can send them to me. They have a lifetime warranty.
23:25
Awesome that great!
23:25
I would advise against that. Not the kind of leather that needs oiling
23:25
Ok sounds good. Thanks again!
23:25
Of course! And if you have any questions at any time, please feel free to reach out and I’ll be more than happy to help you

I’m curious what leather rope can be used for.
21:22
Floor bondage, and they can cause some gnarly friction burns when rubbed back and forth on the skin
21:25
It’s not load rated and is not recommended to do any sort of suspension with it
21:25
I can all do kits in custom colors to match yo existing hoofs
