This old chest has been around for longer than I have. I remember it in my parents room with blankets inside and clean laundry piled on top. It's been in my garage for more than a year so I thought I'd fix it up and actual use it.
After a little sanding I sprayed it with gray primer and then sanded some off around the edges. Then I sprayed with black spray paint and then sanded some more. After it was dry I put on a coat of tung oil (I wish I skipped that part because it made it too shiny but I thought it would make it more durable)
HERE IT IS...
