By buddy made these from scrap wood sandwiched together...the center sections were hollowed out w/ a jig saw. Note the "authentic" recycled brass cartridges as spouts.
The spout is just a cartridge that has the base cut off, and another slightly larger one serves as a cap. There was a piece of bathtub chain soldered into the primer hole to act as a keeper, but it broke. I will drill the one on there now out and use a piece of string for a keeper.
The smaller one has a dixie gun works spring spout, as it is used for priming the pan.
The bottom of the flask has a threaded fill hole that is capped with a big screw.
Sykes Sutlery offers a brass and leather priming flask @ $50.00. I bought my wood & brass flask from G Godwin, but I think it's been discontinued.

i seldom come into this forum, glad i did today...Mr Owen, that is one beautiful flask, thanks for sharing......or .......that's where i dropped my flask, thanks for finding it Mr. Owen...LOL :bow:
The obvious response to that is they are designed to be carried and to carry powder. Modern flasks aren't much better, and certainly not a horn. Don't sit, lie, or fall on them, and the discomfort shouldn't be a problem. :v
Chris, you want to try something fun. Try lying behind a log and loading a muzzleloader. Even more fun try low crawling 20 yards, then try to load. That will change how you wear your gear. :grin:
