Wooden trunks used to be a symbol of status and affluence, possessed only by society’s most elite. Over time, they became more affordable and accessible to individuals from all class levels but did not lose their noble reputation. We create trunks in a variety of styles at Chuck’s Woodbarn. Our specialty, however, is the popular wooden camelback chest or steamer trunk, distinguished by its top that curves in both directions. Our custom handmade wooden camelback chests, or known sometimes as a barrel top trunk, are one of a kind and can be used to store many different items.

Although our antique trunks are sanded, stained, hand-waxed, and adorned to mimic the enchanting look of an older piece, they are constructed with a sturdy craftsmanship that allows them to endure for decades. Our trunks are ideal for holding clothing, jewelry, guns, quilts, bridal boxes, and other treasured items. They can also be customized with names, photos, and other personal engravings. Our experts will always cater your antique trunk to you, the customer. We will listen to what you are looking for, and take it from there. Chuck’s Woodbarn would love to create a unique piece for you that will make your living space pop with the cozy or timeless ambience you are looking for.
