This is one pattern i saw and finally have been able to recreate it.
When its done is create a box shape. The rings i have are waay to bulky to make a bracelet or necklace out of this braid unless you like a gawdy sort of look. (Well maybe a necklace or a bracelet on a bigg ass arm.)
So I'm probally going to turn this one into a wallet chain when i'm finished. I've got some new tools also that don't mar the surface too badly.
I'm going to look into getting some new wire and tools to work with a jewelry gauge wire here soon.

Hmm.. Actually I guess you are kinda right. When I made this piece I was looking at pictures like http://www.etsy.com/listing/8894665.....an-aka-foxtail and figuring out how to make it, so I probably have a few less runs to make it an actual foxtail braid. (yeah, When I was making Maile, I simply looked at pictures like this mostly and tried to backwards engineer it. )
As did I. try Maille Artisans. ^_^ They have a 'Weaves' Gallery. Has a lot of interesting weaves people have found, made, and re-engineered...
