[QUOTE="SeaGoat, post: 109936, member: 1136"][ATTACH=full]27627[/ATTACH] *Tung ;) Its not very worn. It looks like someone tried to clean it at one point with something abrasive and left dull marks over the area, or maybe its raised areas from the original glue coming through? I dont think I want the canvas to be *shiny*, Id like to keep it as original looking as possible, just enhancing it. Also, I bought the leather straps to replace the handle and now need to buy the proper nails. The wood is 1/2" thick I know its going to need to go through the bracket, through the wood and make a U turn to lock it in place. Im afraid Im going to have the nail come back through. Should I get 1" or a 3/4"? And Im not sure the center nail that goes through the slot of the handle. Same concept? This is where Ill be ordering from [URL]http://www.brettunsvillage.com/trunks/howto/parts/nails.htm[/URL][/QUOTE]
