Had a good day today , nice project and i learnt loads 
Looking at the " Frost River " cataloge and theres a canvas bag for carrying logs ,,ideal for meets when you need to take some wood
First things first fire up the stove ,
The canvas that I used came from an army canvas bag that as far as i know was used for collecting heavy drop chutes after use, really nice old canvas
Canvas all over is what is called for so the old Singer hand crank was used to make some straps
Bit of sewing later and here it is ,
Loads of time left to wax my sack
Melted the beeswax and paraffin wax on a trivet placed on the stove
Painted it on with a pure bristle brush ...good fun that was
Then a problem ...can not find me heat gun and for some reason Sylvia will not let me use her hair dryer ...
Hmmm what would they have done back in the day ....
Here you go
Worked a treat
This is the end product ,,good fun
