Whip coloration

Posted by Mark Indy from prc-resnet39a.pr.erau.edu on May 05, 1999 at 23:48:55:

As I recall from previous discussions it was agreed that the dark coloration of the movie whip was due to age and that the David Morgan whips we can get now darken with age... However, in The Best of Lucasfilm Archives book there is a picture of one of the David Morgan whips (I assume) with a lighter, yellowish-tan, handle. The rest of the whip is the familiar dark shade. Has anybody figured out if maybe some oil was used to bring out the dark color instead of just aging? Something has to account for the difference in coloration. Any thoughts?

Sorry, I can't remember if this was brought up before.

Regards,
Mark
