------------------------THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION HAS RUN ITS COURSE------------------------
----------------------------------IT'S TIME FOR A RETURN TO HANDMADE----------------------------------
Leather bottling is an ancient craft, with crude leather cups dating back to the late neolithic period in Europe and becoming a major trade in medieval England. I'm proud to be practicing this craft and promoting traditional, durable handmade goods.
Want a leather vessel but don't see one that's just right? I'm happy to take on custom work.

UPDATES!
Strict medieval reproduction vessels are in design. These feature historically accurate design and finishes, inside and out.
We are phasing out resin lining of all vessels. Most vessel styles have been updated with wax lining and a rubber stopper. The tankards and jacks will also be offered with brewer's pitch lining. Resin lined products will be officially discontinued when stock is exhausted.
Two new flask designs have been added for the 2011 season. We expect to have them available soon.
