FWIIW an old CA (leatherwork II, can't recall the number) indicated that
pitch was period as a waterproofing of leather vessels. I have made a
couple of water-bottles using pitch, and they give the water a flavour
reminicent of old time sailing ships. Most leather bottles that I've seen
that others have made have been waterproofed with beeswax.
