Mary Rose flask

[Brushpopper]

I've made another drinking flask (flacket) from archaeological dawings of an original brought up from the Mary Rose.

Lovely work! 
I was wondering how you had shaped it, so I am glad you included the wooden molds for it.

Very cool! Is it water tight?

Beautiful work! The molds are a piece of art on their own.

How did you seal the edges?

[Brushpopper]

Thanks, guys. I couldn't find brewer's pitch so I used a paint used for sealing aquariums. It's described as fish-safe so I'm assuming it's okay.

That is so cool!    Lovely stitiching, too!

That is awesome!  Have you tried it?

It's water tight. Or, as I prefer to put it, beer tight.

So, I see a ton of cool stuff on this forum and I think, unless someone else trumps you, that you have it for today's forum scrub. That flask is very cool and beautifully done to boot.

Fantastic work

How did the Old Timers waterproof them
