May.11,2012I was contacted some time ago by a gentleman from Toowoomba, QLD, asking if I could put whips onto a couple of handles
And of course I said yes. The handles he had were 100 years old and made by his grandfather.
Info from the owner Fred
The two handles were made by my grandfather Douglas Berge who lived in Guy Street, Warwick. He passed away in 1926.
The whips were given to my father Douglas Berge II who at the time was on a property in the Warwick District. When my father passed away some fifty years ago the handles came into my possession minus the whips.
Since then the handles have been in a box in the back shed, where I discovered them with all the family history a few months back. I decided to have whips made for the handles and found an article in the paper about a whip maker in Warwick, so I contacted him and on completion I will pass the whips on to my grandson.
And the finished whips.
