356 Trunk Luggage

#1 Post by Gordon White »

I had a few cow hides left over from the interior of the T1, so I decided to use them to make some luggage. Here's my first piece!

I know having the hides helped, but it's the TALENT that made the difference.
Outstanding!

Gordon - absolutely stunning! Job well done.

I’d be envious, but in my case, the cache of tools and spare parts I keep in that space preclude me from even considering such a piece!
