[QUOTE="KingofThings, post: 274485, member: 468"]With pleasure Bobbie Joe. :) It is usually polished intentionally or simply in use on boats and ships mainly to weave loops into rope ends to connect it to something without counting on knots. It is also used for making 'monkey fists'. These are weighted ends on small rope and used to heave that rope to shore or shore to vessel. Then, once this is captured larger and larger rope (hawsers) can be pulled until the necessary size is achieved to hold the vessel in place. It is also used to make and undo knots. (No I did not copy and paste this) :)[/QUOTE]
