Kitchen Cabinet Repair - Vintage Travel Trailer

                                               This is a 1957 Cardinal Travel Trailer.
The charred wood upper kitchen cabinet was believed to be caused by someone leaving the stove unattended - lucky thing they didn't burn the trailer down!

                                                              Wood skin was removed.

Burned / bad framing pieces were removed and used as a template for new wood.

New birch "Wiggle Wood" was installed - glued and clamped.

With 5-6 coats of amber shellac. The original door and copper lights reinstalled.

Another view.

Thanks for looking, and happy camping!

Formica Replacement - 1961 Northwest Coach Travel Trailer

The old Formica was a pretty design, but it was just too worn to keep...shown here with metal edge band removed.

AFTER - New laminate installed and original edge band installed using new stainless screws with a decorative head. (Blue legs are the work table it is sitting on - not the actual table base).
