Hmmm sounds like a project best left to the pro's. Are there tanners though, who tan without hazardous chemicals? Speaking of the taste of beeswax... as an aside, I have a drinking horn made from a cow's horn, much like you see in the viking movies. Horn contains some not very nice chemicals in it which should not be drunk. What was suggested to me was to line the inside with beeswax. It seals off the horn and beleve it or not, if you fill it with cheap beer, the wax imporves the flavor of the beer. I don't see why it would not do likewise for water in a leather water bottle.
