Waxed leather tankards F/S

[Eric_Methven]

I've made up another batch of hot waxed leather tankards by popular request. There's six available here,four big ones which hold exactly 1 pint and two smaller tankards which hold just over half a pint.

I am asking £40 each for the big ones and £30 each for the little ones.

Each flask is made from 3-4mm veg tanned leather with a 6mm veg tanned base, all hand stitched throughout and hot soaked in molten beeswax to make them not only completely waterproof, but also hard as iron. These are almost indestructible. If it does fall under a steam roller, or an elephant stands on it, you can just pop it in the microwave for a minute or so to soften the wax (which goes all the way through the leather), reshape it and let the wax harden again.

These flasks are suitable for cold drinks only. Not suitable for hot liquids, and please don't stick it in the dishwasher. A cold rinse is all it needs. Alcoholic beverages taste much better when drunk from one of these.

The price includes Paypal fees and postage within the U.K. Anyone outside the U.K., contact me for postage costs.

Thanks for looking,

Eric

I see you are in Wales. If you consider that as part of the U.K., postage is included mate.

Can't run to these, Eric, but I just want to say that they are absolutely gorgeous. Nice job!

Thanks for moving this Tone.
Now that I have a new method of drawing Celtic Knotwork, that saves hours of hard work, I can afford to tool knotwork designs into these tankards (and flasks as well) for only a small extra charge.

Keep a lookout for new stuff coming along.

I still have 3 large and 2 small of the tankards at the top of this post.

Would love one of these Eric, how much extra to add the knotwork on a large one?

Can't do knotwork on the ones in the photo as they are already waxed, and all decoration must be done before waxing and before sewing. I won't be able to make decorated tankards before I get back from Bulgaria (end of June) and I should have worked out the extra costs by then. I'll make a few up and put them up on the makers market. Then you can see what they're like and we can go from there.
