That's some fine work Ben, how did you seal them? Wax or pitch? (or the dark arts of PE?)
Beeswax sealed. Took some time, but it wasnt hard to do. They sealed up nice and I don't really get any taste change from it.

Very nice!
Mind if I ask how you were able to plan for them to hold a quart? I've been trying to figure out a good way to anticipate how big I need to cut my leather & account for shaping/stretching to make a rectangular 32oz bottle but I'm stumped.
Unfortunately, I just got lucky. My wife drew them out freehand

Finally got the haversack dyed, & waxed.
The strap is just a functional placeholder until I can make something better.

I have a wool ruana cloak that I've been working on a bit, but progress has been slow with life being what it is. My coworkers at the museum I work at gave me a box full of old wool blankets and fabric that the museum costume department never used, so I have more than enough material!

It really is. And there's a few moth-holes in them, so free weathering!

Putting together my first kit for a multiday trek in October. I've been making leather pouches. Just making random sizes from whatever pieces I've gotten from Tandy Leather's $5 remnant bags.

Like your stitching. Is it a spcific style, or your own devising?

Thank you.
The large buckskin was saddle stitched inside out then turned.
Top Left was whip stitched on the bottom.
Left one was kind of a combo whip stitch and saddle stitch. Don't really know what it's called. Basically do a saddle stitch with 2 needles, then loop one over the edge and back in the same hole.
Bottom, black pouch was mostly whip stitch.

Working on a leather costrel. It should be about 2 liters when done. I don't normally do much leather tooling, but couldn't leave such a large piece blank. I'll paint the tree white. The rest will only be colored/finished with beeswax.
