Well I don't have the tools to work clay and I wanted to make a scuttle so I went with mahogany.
Every square inch is sealed with numberous coats of polyeurothane so it is deffanitely water tight.
The last coat of clear on the handle is drying so I will have to wait until tommorrow to try it out. You can also see a matching mahogany bowl of Bald Frog shaving soap. It's a recipe my wife and I have been working on, I hope to have it refined and ready to send out some samples in a couple weeks.
