British Oak Canteen -
These canteens are made of oak and designed
as per drawings of originals. They normally hold water after
soaking for a few hours. The maker has seen one on the inside after a season of use and
does not recommend drinking from any wood canteen. (It appeared that black mold
may have set
up residence inside or the end user had put a liquid in the canteen that caused
the oak to turn black.) I now shellac the inside to stabilize the
wood and help waterproof the unit. Shellac is much like
beeswax, in that it is non-toxic and a product of an insect but like
beeswax, it breaks down with alcohol so you cannot put alcohol in
your canteen - you will end up drinking the shellac. |
British Canteen with wood stopper, strap, iron buckle and British
Ordinance markings - $100.00 |
