Here's a segmented canteen that I made from Chestnut that was recovered from a 150 year old barn in Berks County, PA. The shell is formed from 23 pieces and turned round on the outside.
I cut a groove in the center and inlaid a band of Walnut and a section of brass. The brass is formed at each end and slips under the Walnut band. The nails go through the band and the brass, and are anchored in the shell. The spout is turned from Chestnut and the stopper from Walnut.
