Old Oak
I wanted to share this little project with you it is a family heirloom that belongs to a friend when he showed it to me it was held together with elastic bands. About a third of the rear panel where the hinge slots in was missing and the top was almost flat.

I think this covering is called leather paper which covered the hinges inside and out it also acts as a stop stopping the lid from opening too far. Anyway it was all torn through.

I used Kydex my go to plastic which I laminated to achieve the desired thickness I then used epoxy to hold it in place.

I was careful when taking the box apart and by careful use of the paper I was able to make new panels to act as hinge covers.

I could have feathered the edges on the rear in an attempt to hide the repair but I really had very little paper so I took the safest option.

A nice little challenge which took a couple of hours.
