Thanks for the advice! I have just started my flask, and I have all the "ingredients" ready, except for the wax. I found a few beekeepers locally but the wax is still pricey! I think I might opt for paraffin since it's a lot cheaper.
Thanks for the nice comments! And FHL FERG, you are correct about the stamps I used. I love that pattern and I use it a lot! I also plan on buying these: http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/en-usd/search/searchresults/6882-00.aspx
