Antique Trunk restoration proceedures and information

Legacy Trunks refinishing procedures and information.
Our tips on how to refinish and restore your antique trunk.

This section of our website is an information section. The following photos and descriptions are examples of some of our procedures we use, and challenges we face, during Trunk refinishing. There are photos of different trunks, to show some of the various techniques. We are always excited about our refinished Trunks, because of the condition we received them in, and the process and transformation of them during our process. You may already have or might acquire an Antique Trunk which you would like to refinish yourself. We love working on these, and while we have some beautifully refinished Trunks for sale, we are glad to help you with this information to help you do your own. We also occasionally take on refinishing work, so check with us if you would like LegacyTrunks.com to refinish your Antique Trunk for you.
