Attractive, eye-catching brass accents, leather strap details, a rich wood finish, and lots of storage space to boot, make this Steamer Trunk one project that's well worth setting your sights on.

Steamer trunks of similar design have long enjoyed a glamorous association with overseas and long distance travel. They were designed to be sturdy, spacious, and well organized; typically carrying all that a passenger might need during a long period of travel (more ordinary -- usually square -- utilitarian trunks were typically packed below deck and were inaccessible during transit).

Today, steamer trunks provide for attractive storage while also acting as wonderful period pieces that lend a touch of history to any room.

The plans to build this project come complete with all the information you'll require to make short work of this endeavor: a list of materials, source of supplies, cutting schedule, photos, instructions, and plenty of diagrams.

Completed, the steamer trunk measures 36-inches wide, 17-inches high, and 20-inches deep. Pattern No. 52304.
