I like the idea of the black walnut; I recall the story of it being from your grandfather. Having the sentimental value in addition is great.
I built some cabinets for my home a few years back and I had baskets for drawers. The baskets had a wooden rim at the top and I affixed drawer slides to them. Made a really nice cabinet. I later built an outdoor bathroom and moved that cabinet to the outdoor bathroom; it's still in service today.
You mentioned a noticeable difference with the air bags; what was your observation? The airbags on my rig are currently inoperable; mine is a 36' coach on a P30 chassis with a MorRyde tag axle. It handles pretty well without the airbags, I'm wondering what new bags will do.
