Robert,
You may be referring to a lashing, however this is done using one
piece of rope. Hae a look at

and see if this is what you mean.

I am trying to combine several pieces of natural rope in a decorative
manner in order to tie two pieces of wood together in a cross shape. Could
anyone help me?
Thank you,
Robert
