This was one of my very early cannon carriages. I built it in 1998. It sat in my foyer for more than a decade. I mounted a South Bend Replica "swivel barrel" on it. The barrel was 36" long and weighed 175 lbs. It had a 1.5" bore. It had 36" wheels that I built. After building one pair of wheels, I decided to never do it again!!
I had it on my website for a really long time with a pretty heavy price because I really didn't want to sell it.
Well, a golf course in a Northern state paid my "I don't want to sell it price".
It was going to sit outside. I told them what had to be done to maintain it but that it was wood and would do what ever wood does when left unmaintained.
Her are some before and after pictures.
