Of course the pendants are Excellent too and I still love the Black wood the best. Your cords are good and it is SO Easy to make them perfect from your level. Just Hold the braid tightly, alternating fingers and pulling it tight AS you braid it. The keeping the braid TIGHT makes all the difference. THEN after you have finished the braid and secured the ends, Stick a screw driver in a vice extending out horizontally and drape the cord over the shaft.( It can be anything but it should be smooth) Now grab each end of the cord with your hands and make a motion like you are Polishing the screwdriver, pulling very hard. Do this for a couple minutes and you will see the Magic begin. Your braid will smooth out, tighten up and look like Paipo or Andy might have done it :lol: :P :) Hope this helps.
