I have always loved these and was looking for something to store some bits in and came across this, I only paid £20 for it and thought id have a go at doing it up a bit, but thought I would try and get a little information on it first in case i ruin it! should I remove the canvas? would be lovely to know a little more information as im new to the trunk/chest world many thanks
You should have no problem removing the canvas -- you will discover a nice pine base underneath to refinish. It will not change the value much and for some it is more desirable refinished. Looks to be about a late 1890's to early 1900's dome top trunk. Good luck with the project...
that's brilliant thank you so much for your advice cant wait to get to work on it now :)
Trunkman has provided a tutorial for another project about 7 months ago. I recommend you check it out on this site. Have fun and good luck.
