First off I want to thank you from here to the moon for your very informative website as well as the extensive inventory of trunk parts and awesome prices. I have now completed two trunks and have enjoyed every minute of it. I could not have done it without your site. The first trunk was a big, ugly trunk my neighbor just gave to me because they couldn’t stand the sight of it any longer. I will send pictures of that one later on. Lets just say they are sorry they gave it to me now because it turned out so nicely. The next trunk(s) I acquired is my great grandmother and grandfather’s. We found both in a barn rotting away. They are the old zinc covered ones with the rounded top. It was heartbreaking to see them in the shape we found them in. I finished the first one because it was in the best shape, and the other which looks very similar in design is taking a bit more work then the other because the top was caved in and it was covered in rust. Normally I would likely have walked away, but these are priceless family heirlooms that were not properly cared for until now. I am including the first because I am still replacing slats and rebuilding the hump on the second and I can only hope in the end it will look as beautiful as this one. I can’t tell you how excited I was when the parts we ordered from you came in the mail today! I’m including the after shots, as well as the before one from when we found them. I’m sure you’ll be able to see which is which. 😀 I hope. Thanks again! I can’t wait to get the other finished as well as get pics of the first so I can share!
