i'm looking for differn't ways to carry a gourd canteen that is pc during 1750 to 1840. I have a gourd that holds about 2 qts and I want to use it for trekking and etc.
Won't it rot after awhile?
I've seen a few reenactors who used them, and they constructed woven, or solid leather "sheaths" with a shoulder strap to carry them.
I have it cleaned and coated on the inside with bees wax and was wondering if I coat the outside with polyurthine or something on that nature would it ruin it? Also if i use rawhide instead of leather for a sheath when it dries would it crack it? :hmm:
