G'afternoon all:

Sure they do. Ebay is your friend. Just a couple of quick searches. Make sure you check the sellers' stores for larger selections, better prices, colors, whatever.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=ViewItem&item=270153662286 (My personal choice of the two.)
My parameter for search was "Leather Hides". Over 200 results.
Tips: Learn how to make Turk's Head knots. They look spiffy around base and tip of handle. Uniformity is more aesthetic than sloppiness. Deer and lamb are thinner/softer while cowhide, bullhide, and buffalo hide are thicker/tougher. If you get stuck for how do make the floggers themselves? Cut the leather into really long strips. (36" +). Whatever thickness you want, remember though, thinner is stingier and thicker is thuddier. Loop them through a big key ring, halfway. Wrap a spare strip around many times neatly and tie off to create the handle. Viola! Instant flogger; less work/time, and the key ring becomes a nifty loop to hang the flogger from.
Hope that helps. From one crafter to another. I make other toys as well. Contact me off list if you desire more ideas/information.
Stay safe, place nice, & share your toys w/ others...
