As far as weathering....I would suggest not using nylon rope next time. Use a (preferrably used) manilla type rope and wet it for up to 24 hours to get it nice and flexable (depending on the type of rope you use, becuase some are already very flexable)) and keep it wet while you're tying your knots. Then stick it outside for a while. It will "weather up" nicely. I'm very impressed with all of your creations. they look very vintage, even though they are recently created.
