I sell my mats before they take on the weather (they naturally swell with the rain) - but here is one i placed out in the rain to take on the water. Take a look at the photos to see its progression to its current look.
I have lots of listings for unweathered mats. Please check them out.

It is a nautical themed door mat is made of 1/2' Manila. It makes an attractive welcome for your guests. It is the classic Ocean Mat style. The Ocean Mat has been weaved by many a sailor, for many a deck and for many a year!
I love making these mats, each one is slightly different and as I carefully weave the 100ft of rope I enjoy watching it take shape. Manila has the most fabulous smell, one that reminds me of boats and boat houses. My workshop is filled with this aroma as I calmly weave my mat in and out pulling the long strands through again and again, constantly molding it into its final shape.
To buy one before weathering check out my other listings -
