How to Make a Traditional Waxed Tarp (Old Style Canvas)

This video documents the process of making a traditional waxed tarp from heavy weight linen canvas. The canvas is washed, hemmed, fitted with handmade leather rings, and treated with a penetration layer of linseed oil and turpentine. After that, a second coat made from pure beeswax is applied to create the final protective surface. The result is a durable, old style canvas tarp inspired by historical outdoor equipment. Such tarps were commonly used aboard boats and to protect cargo carried on sleds in harsh northern conditions. #waxedtarp #bushcraftgear #diycanvas #historicalcamping #sledtarp #boattarp #outdoordiy #oldstylecanvas #priroda #camping #vyroba #psi #sleddogs
