This is the largest trunk I have done to date. It was very rusty and I spent the majority of time grinding the
rust off with a dremel and power drill equipped with steel brushes. I then stripped, stained, and polyurethaned
the wood slats. I used hunter green satin Rustoleum, gloss black Rustoleum, and gold leaf hobby paint on all the metal.
I then used sea sponge and gold leaf to do the design.
On the inside, I stripped the paper out, sanded, and stained the wood, and left it to "breathe".

I had to replace the leather handles as I do on all the trunks. Seems they are the first to rot away. I buy
the handles and other hardware from Brettuns Village Trunk Shop. See my links page.
