Default My vintage case re-do

My blue SS Morse will get put back into a new case. I had to completely rebuild the bottom and cut new plywood, nail etc. It had sat in damp or water and was destroyed. The upper case was not terrible, but was fraying and looked dirty, faded and icky. I stripped it and then slowly, over a month, decoupaged and burned some map prints. It still needs a few sealing coats and I plan on putting feet on the bottom, so it doesn't get scraped or damaged. It took waaay longer than I expected.

That is very very pretty! Nice job. They ALWAYS take longer than expected. But it is worth it.
