Leather water bottle / canteen

(1/3) > >>

marcelslot:
Hi all,
 
Just finished this leather drinking canteen. Made from 10 Oz. veg tanned leather and fully impregnated outside and inside with hot beeswax for waterproofing.
It came out quite OK. Shaping was done when wet by filling and stuffing firmly with... rice grains!
After the leather was stretched and dried, pouring out the rice worked like charm.

Let me know what you think.

Be well
Marcel

neuse:
That's pretty darn cool. Good job.

GlisGlis:
very very nice
may you clarify the passages?
when did you made the waterproofing?
before of after sewing?
if after how did you made it?
