Contributing Member fredk Posted September 20, 2021 Contributing Member Report Posted September 20, 2021 A leather bottle? yes? Over here a 'canteen' can mean many things, such as all the things needed to eat a dinner, eg cutlery, glasses, plates . . . . Ok. so I'm only teasing ya! But a leather water/wine flask type thingy. As long as you don't want to see it too soon I'll try making one. I've been wanting to make a sort-of copy of one from the ship Mary Rose The original; And someone else's reproduction of it; It involves some wet moulding, so I'll have to set to to make the buck but I'll not be doing it exactly as that other person did it Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

Is it lined with something, or just leather on water? Nicely done, btw.

MikeRock Posted September 21, 2021 Report Posted September 21, 2021 The cordwainer out at our rendezvous used hot melted wax, pour in, soak a bit, pour out. It didn't crack when the leather flexed 'a bit'. Quote

What do you seal the insides with? Thanks. I should clarify, it holds 4 cups. I stretch them out with un-popped popcorn. I ASSUME that it holds 32oz of liquid as well. After they are dry I saturate them with a blend of beeswax and paraffin. After that they get a final "lining" of brewers pitch. 10 hours ago, YinTx said: Is it lined with something, or just leather on water? Nicely done, btw. YinTx Thanks. Quote Hoka Hey!
