My brother-in-law refinished the outside of an old trunk for me. It looks great but the smell inside is bad. I've tried several different things to absorb the smell with no luck.

Hi Deb, sorry you have a smelly truck. Leave the windows down when ever possible. I got some of the solid air fresheners and left a bunch in my car. It takes a lot of time and baking soda. Good luck My Car Smells: 7 Tips for Getting Rid of Bad Auto Odors - CarsDirect
Mar 15, 2012 - Baking soda. If you spilled something on the carpet and a smell lingers, then sprinkle baking soda on it. Rub the baking soda in and leave it for a few hours. The baking soda will absorb any free smells. After a few hours, vacuum up the baking soda.
Baking soda? Charcoal? Crumpled up newspaper? May take a period of time so be patient. Wash out with a vinegar water solution?
Have you tried straight activated charcoal??
Coffee grounds, unused, in a bowl might help.
Odo-Ban is wonderful. It's found in the cleaning aisle at the hardware store. I also like to let stinky pieces sit in the sun.
