The
Big Bopper
This
is an impressive instrument calling for a powerful arm to wield it and
an equally powerful resolution to stand in front of it.
The style is like the Alley Cats. The length
is a full four feet overall. The tresses are nine straps of harness
leather nearly 3/16” thick. These are woven to an 18” long lead-weighted
Strap & Cord handle, using nylon paracord in your choice of
colors. Turk’s head knots and a full wrist strap complete the features.
Our
usual practice is to round the tress straps slightly, “breaking
the sharp edge.”and reducing the cutting effect. The ends of the tress
are usually square cut, but you can order them rounded, pointed or cut
at an angle.
For
play or for display, the Big Bopper is an impressive creation.
