Through his passion for
researching the heroes of traditional Australian whipmaking, Paul Nolan
of MidWestWhips has amassed whole binders full of information on the
great Cecil Henderson, his famous whips, and his whipmaking family
line. From the late 1800's until well into the mid 1900's,
three generations of the Henderson family made the most sought after
whips in all of Australia. Cecil Henderson and his family
elevated the art of whipmaking with intricate patterns, super high
plait counts, braided initials, and above all else - the quality and
durability of construction real Australian stockmen needed.
Today, fine whips made by
Cecil Henderson are among the most sought after by the world's foremost
whip experts and collectors for their historic significance and their
beauty. We have had the opportunity to closely examine and
document over a dozen of these rare stockwhips and bullwhips in person,
and we have studied dozens more through photographs and conversations
with their owners.

What
started as a personal hobby has now grown into a signature
series, thanks to the fans of Cecil Henderson's work and the loyal and
discerning customers of MidWestWhips. It is our pleasure to
create and
offer copies of the Henderson stockwhips and bullwhips we have
documented, as well as stockwhips and bullwhips inspired by the iconic
Henderson style. Nothing pleases us more than to be able to share
the legacy of the Henderson family with the next generations of whip
enthusiasts and connoisseurs.
