When the wax on the inside of the flask rehardens, what keeps it from flaking off into your beverage of choice? Or is it a soft wax, not a paraffin-type wax?
Actually, I did use paraphin- however, I blended it with bee's wax to soften it a bit. This was more of an experiment, really, so I didn't go too expensive on the materials. But in reality, this came out so nicely that I think I'll just have to keep it! So this woog of which we're speaking... Does it carve well?

When a man is constantly exploring a new aspect of his art it shows a true love and a potential to be greater than those who accept the status quo as "good enough". Nice start!

Thank you! The next one I make is going to be lines with a half and half mix of pitch and bee's wax, and I think I know how to make the tooling better. I'm going to use barley instead of sand, and I'll pack it tighter to make it bigger, and... Well, I have all kinds of ideas!!
