nautical look

[Electric Comet]

best rope for that nautical look

should last a long time and can be wound tightly and have great hloding power

hemp sisal or some other type

the rough look is good but should be less than half inch diameter

now i wonder if the rope has to be glued it it is wrapped or will it not stretch and a screw at each end is enough

[Electric Comet]

narrowed it to sisal or manila

but probably manila as it is most common for marine look

natural rope is not cheap and much more than synthetic
