KCF2013 Report post Posted January 27, 2014 After scrolling thru the site and reading a couple of threads on tankards, well I had to go an make a couple The one on the left is dyed green wit has 5 plait mystery braid and the one on the left was left natural colour and a more standard handle. Both are made from 5oz leather and lined with beezwax. Amazing how strong you can get leather once it's been heated, I lost grip on the natural coloured mug and it went flying into my drill press at a high velocity and came out unscaved. Definately going to be playing around with the design, and decorative options. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KCF2013 Report post Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) I think on the next ones i will go with the resin, I have access to plenty of pitch to make my own brewers mix but I believe for everyday use the resin would win out in the long run, and able to use hot beverages as well. Although I have had water sitting in one for going on day 3, no signs of weakness or leaks, with just baked in beeswax Edited January 28, 2014 by KCF2013 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
