Looks lovely! How do you get the musty /funky smell out? Thanks for your help solving a trunk problem that I haven't been able to solve!

Or old musty smell? I have one camel back and three flat trunks. And many, many old suitcases. They make great end tables stacked up. I haven't restored any of them yet, but would like to. Some of them I can't store anything in because of the smell. Yours looks fantastic. Thank you for sharing.

OH MY GOODNESS toadie is just beautiful. I have a domed
small trunk and I hope someday I can make it look just half as
beautiful as yours. I need new or rather some old henges for
this dome one. We have 2 other trunks that certainly need
your touch. You have inspired me. This may be a great winter
project.

Nice work. I remember a couple of old trunks in my parent's attic, but they went to my sister, and now to her daughters. Lovely restoration - you can tell you do it with love.
