Members cgillock Posted December 1, 2011 Members Report Posted December 1, 2011 A few of the leather trunks I make. Quote
Members Wishful Posted December 1, 2011 Members Report Posted December 1, 2011 Excellent! What did you use for stiffeners on the sides? Quote
Members Rhide Posted December 1, 2011 Members Report Posted December 1, 2011 (edited) Fantastic work! I would sure like to see some detail pics of the large round trunk on the bench. What a beautifully classic trunk. I could easily imagine that on the back of an Essex or Packard. Edited December 1, 2011 by Rhide Quote
Ambassador Luke Hatley Posted December 1, 2011 Ambassador Report Posted December 1, 2011 FINE WORK.. thanks for posting the photos... Quote
Tinneal Posted December 1, 2011 Report Posted December 1, 2011 Beautiful! How did you make the frames? Quote
Members cgillock Posted December 1, 2011 Author Members Report Posted December 1, 2011 Excellent! What did you use for stiffeners on the sides? I work with harness leathers up to 16-18 oz some on the smaller ones & that is plenty stiff. Some of the larger trunks are made with Palonia & Poplar frames which is as close as I can get to what the old original trunks were made of. The old trunks coming from England was made from Deal. Fantastic work! I would sure like to see some detail pics of the large round trunk on the bench. What a beautifully classic trunk. I could easily imagine that on the back of an Essex or Packard. I thing there are some detail pics on my facebook page. Try Two Fools Leather Goods on facebook. Quote
Members Menolly Posted December 3, 2011 Members Report Posted December 3, 2011 Those are amazing! Beautiful! Quote
Members Nick69 Posted December 3, 2011 Members Report Posted December 3, 2011 Very nice trunks. Lovely detail. Euro Redwood is the closest to what was originally Deal, its also closely relater to Scotts Pine. I have some in my store if you want a picture? I'm actually a cabinet maker by trade but also dabble with leather. Quote
