Default Updating One Of My Feather Weight Cases

Krickett is getting a new case! I have not been in the mood to tackle her case but today I started on it.
Bottom is very moldy but I will sand all of the case including the mold, I will be outdoors in the sunshine wearing my full face respirator because that case has some nasty stuff on it!! Love my respirator, use it for lots of things, mostly for my lampwork though.

An interesting thing was the leather tab hinges for the handle on top were actually sewn to the wood top right through the wood. Look at the nifty stitches they used to do that with... I will be doing something different and will paint it, stencil it and maybe even do a little decoupage...just depends on the mood I am in. I will also pad it like I did my white FW case last year.
Here are some pics of this work in progress:
