So I think I finally have the 4-strand braid down. Thanks again Benzart for hammering it into my brain.

So I've been a braiding fool today. If someone told me a few months ago that I would be braiding my own cords (or carving fake toggle tootheses) I would have thought they were crazy.

The cord on the left I doubled-up the cord thickness. Compare that to the one on the far right, and you can see that the right one might be a tad too thin. The middle cord I added a stand of black to tie-in with the black scrimshaw work.

I still have a world to learn about traditional lashings and stuff...
