varney Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I've just finished re-lining the interior of a nice old basic wooden concertina case using deep red velvet. I was going to just stain and varnish the exterior, but recently I saw an unusual ( at least to me ) covered case. I'm attaching a picture here. The case seemed to be covered using some kind of wallpaper, or possibly drawer lining paper? I couldn't quite tell. Anyway, it got me thinking about the options for doing something nice with the outside of the case rather than the run of the mill finish. Has anyone else decorated their case in a similar way? I'd love to see pictures just to get some ideas before I decide how to finish this one off. Thanks, Michael. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theo Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Bookbinders buckram would be a durable choice, but only available in plain colours. You could cover it in leather, and with gold tooling if you wanted it to be really fancy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Stein Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I would be careful however. The more colorful and eye catching a case is the more likely it will draw attention to easy prey. I am always for keeping my case and bags as understated as possible. rss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnC Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 There's just a couple of stickers and a badge on my case to cover the odd scuff I shall have to smarten it up after seeing the case in Varney's post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
