Replacement Trunk Slats
and Slat Clamps, Decorative Brackets Brass Corner Guards The squares you see in the
two pictures above are 1 inch by 1 inch
Decorative edges are cast
brass, and that means solid brass. The plating won't fall off in
a few years and leave behind a mess of rust, because there is no plating
on these.
Some makers in the late
1800s used these to protect the edges of their trunks, but over time this
style of edge became more decorative than anything else.
Nail them in place and then
watch your shins, brother, because you don't want to smash it into one
of these brass edges in the middle of the night.
Three-legged decorative
edges, or four-legged decorative edges. You decide.
Prices include shipping

Cast Brass Slat Clamp:
$5.00 each
Slat clamps are the metal
pieces that cover the ends of the wooden slats on the outside of your trunk.
You knew that already, probably.
What you may not have known
is that we carry authentic reproductions of original slat clamp styles,
and we have two varieties. Both styles were commonly used; one is
just a bit fancier than the other.
Each style comes in four
shapes - one is for the end of a slat, plain and simple, the second is
for use on a "T-intersection" of two slats, common on the lids of many
older styles.
The third is called a 'flat
clamp' and can be used on almost any type of slat intersection. The
fourth style is larger - called a top-side clamp, and is used when you
need a clamp that both covers the end of a slat and bends down over the
edge of the trunk.
See them all below, along
with our replacement oak slats:
Minimum Order size is

Hardwood
Slats We can custom-cut replacement
hardwood slats for your trunk refinishing project. Slats are 2" wide
and are priced at $12 each, cut to your specifications - just let
us know the dimensions you need.
These are cut from new milled
Maine ash and are 2 inches wide and a quarter of an inch thick. We
cut them to length for you. You can stain them to your liking.

(for most common lengths - 28 up to 40 inches long)

Prices include shipping
costs to any location in the USA
When ordering these just
drop
us a line and let us know the lengths you need
or include it as a note
during the payment process (you'll have a chance to do this during checkout).
Custom cut slats are not
returnable.
Need the darned things bent
to fit the curve of your trunk lid? OK, we'll do that too,
but it'll set you back $75
per slat, which about covers the cost of the steam generation.
We have a steam cabinet
we use to soften the wood, then we build a form to your specs, place the
steamed slats in, and let
them dry slowly in the form. Give us a holler if you need some bent
slats.
Decorative Oak Slats These oak slats have grooves
that are similar to those found on many styles of older trunks. Made
from decent quality oak. Each slat is 2 and 1/4" wide and 36" long.
We only offer them in this size. You can cut them shorter as needed.
You can't cut them longer, and neither can we. Stain them to suit
your tastes, then attach to your trunk. We recommend you pre-drill
your nailholes to avoid splitting the slats.
Decorative slats, 36" long
$16 each, free shipping
