A perfect place to hide the plans to the new secret bomb sight!!!

I don't know why, but I like secret hiding places... so I'm going to try to incorporate them in all my furniture pieces.

It sounds like you are going to add a "pin box" with a lid that doubles as a prop for the trunk lid. Historically, they were used to store blanket pins. Sometimes, a small secret compartment was incorporated under them to store coins or papers. Some trunks had a false bottom accessed from inside or outside the body of the trunk through a disguised drawer or trim panel.

I inherited my mom's cedar chest. She use to sprinkle pipe tobacco over the stored items. Said it was better than moth balls. Us kids smelled like tobacco when she brought out the winter clothes. It worked as I don't remember any holes and my wife still uses it for clothes storage. (without the tobacco)

A light sanding will "refresh" the cedar smell
