Tankards

Recommended Posts

After scrolling thru the site and reading a couple of threads on tankards, well I had to go an make a couple :thumbsup:

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.

Those are both very nice. If you're planning to use them I would get some brewers pitch, or they will get a little soggy.

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
