I cannot stay away from large, old wooden boxes.
And this footlocker stands apart because it is WALNUT.

It weighs a TON.
They don't sell for a whole lot of money, but most have such a great history.
It doesn't take much imagination to figure that some old farm boy
from Nebraska did some traveling. (What a HEAVY thing to tow around!)
I just knew how beautifully it would clean up.
I sanded quite a bit of the old finish off the sides,
leaving the graphics on the top.
AFTER
Then I used some clear furniture wax on it.
And nothing beats the look of walnut once it is cleaned and waxed.

ReplyDeleteYou'd probably loose your other kidney trying to lug it around. It does say Lincoln on it though!

It's beautiful. I have an old one that we got a few months ago, that I need to do something with.
ReplyDeleteYou did a wonderful job of restoring it and I'm so glad you kept the graphics on top! Thanks for sharing @Vintage Charm--pinned!
