It looks to me that the canvas was not just providing weather proofing and impact protection, but a considerable part of the chest's structure. Obviously it won't be subject to the same kind of wear in the corner of your bedroom. But if you did need that strength could you apply a veneer to the inside for a pseudo-plywood effect? or would that cause problems with temperature changes causing splitting etc?
Good question. If you glue a veneer to solid wood on the inside of the trunk, it will break away over time as the wood moves from seasonal wood movement. Here's a video that explains what that is in detail th-cam.com/video/pmM1APci8TY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4M3hG35v-CNEe3KV
Great project. It’s a video lots of people can use. Gotta love Kennedy Hardware for having all of those parts and fasteners.
Fun fact: The repairman who fixed my freezer, used a steamer to quickly defrost inches of ice. 💕🌞🌵😷
Interesting, thanks for sharing!
