I've run out of excuses. Garden is done. Fish are done. Yard is ready for winter and finally back to working on the project.

Got the handle for the gun trunk done today. Small amount of polishing yet but otherwise ready to install on the trunk. Ebony handle and toggle links, tool steel insets in the toggles, brass otherwise. Frustrating finding hardware for projects like this so made much of it. I'm using Brusso latches and they work quite nicely. Here are images of the handle. Will follow up with images of the other hardware. Now finish can be applied to the trunk.



Aspiring to the Chinese adage that 'everything has its time', the checkering urge is coming on.
