    Recently finished with tung oil with a hint of golden oak stain. This is the first one I was able to save the lithographs, ( they were not coming out ) by cutting around them in place. Cedar on the inside. The bride and groom were pleased. I think it is about 1910 but welcome your ideas.

    Thanks

      Wow -- nicely done. Great refinish job and nice choice of stain. 1900-1910 would be about right for age. I love the cedar interior -- cleans it up nicely.

      Thanks for the positive review. Gives me hope and encouragement for my other fun trunks hoping for a second, or third go round.

      Many thanks to myoldkyhome. I appreciate the kind words from one who's been there and knows the deal. Best wishes on your next find.

      This one is fabulous too. Boy, I can see where I am going to learn TONS from this website. So glad I stumbled on it.

      Thanks for the compliment, kindred spirits. The internet blessing of the CW community.
