Featherweight Case part 5 still cleaning

Well I can't stop cleaning it. There are still just a few little bits of glue left on it, and now it has a Swedish bleached wood effect. So another decision to make.

Should I just finish it with a stain finish, or should I go ahead and use the fabrics in my stash. Black ultrasuede outside with laminated cotton Kaffe Fasset for the lining.

Milleflore pattern close up.

Wow what a huge change. You've done a beautiful job of stripping it back. I really don't know what I'd chose to finish it though!

I'd keep the bleached wood affect. It looks pretty and it shows the heritage of the case and what it has been through. Also it's less work! :)

What a great job! I think the fabrics you show are perfect. Now here is a twist, since the antique value of the case is not an issue with this one, would you consider reversing the fabric choices...black on the inside and the milleflore on the outside? Just a thought.

Wow, that wood looks AMAZING. No way would I cover that with any fabric. Bravo!
