DIY: Refinishing An Antique Trunk

I refinished an antique trunk with my dad. Watch while I polish the metal, strip the interior, and then apply polyurethane. This was an exciting DIY project! This furniture restoration DIY kept me busy for months. I borrowed do it yourself restoration hardware from my dad and sourced the trunk from a family attic. This steamer trunk is a new heirloom that I'll always have with me.

We used tung oil on the outside wood. I used barkeeper's friend on the metal.

This 2020 covid project kept me busy!

A trunk, also known as a travel trunk, is a large cuboid container designed to hold clothes and other personal belongings. They are most commonly used for extended periods away from home, such as for boarding school, or long trips abroad. Trunks are differentiated from chests by their more rugged construction due to their intended use as luggage, instead of the latter's pure storage.
