MMArmoury Report post Posted February 8, 2011 I've had great success making and selling these. I sold a dozen last year and I just sold another eight. I think I am getting pretty good at it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeCahill Report post Posted March 6, 2011 A BEAUTIFUL flask, I used to make weed pot similar to this, and a friend used to macrame (knotting string) ropes for them, The method I used was different, I carved half of the bottle shape out of wood, and mounted it on a stout board, I also cut out a piece of ply the same outline as the wooden forme, but 3mm clear all round, I then would staple a piece of soaking wet leather to it, and clamped the leather over the former, after a couple of days in the press, the shape was fixed, I would glue both halves together and hand stitch, I don't think I managed to make one as nice as yours though!

Hell Bent 4 Leather Report post Posted December 30, 2011 This is awesome! I can't wait to try it! I think I will use cheese makers wax to coat it with, though, it stays flexible and doesn't crack. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jacket potato Report post Posted July 7, 2013 Hi, I know this is an old thread but I thought I will ask anyway. I am planning to try making one of these bottles for myself, however, one of my friends asked me if it is safe to actually drink from this bottle? How is it in terms of hygiene? Bacteria and stuff? Food safety is a big issue so if somebody could tell me please if such a bottle would be safe to use for drinking I would appreciate it please. Thank you!

Techmiller Report post Posted January 18, 2014 Well both beeswax and pine pitch are food safe. Cleaning and or sterilization might be difficult if you put anything more than water in it. I personal have not made one yet but am working on one now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brushpopper Report post Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) I've posted this on 'Show Off'. Hope it's okay to repeat it here. It's a flacket from the Mary Rose made with wooden formers. It's flatter on the back to lie comfortably against the body. Edited February 6, 2015 by Brushpopper Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
