Cannon wheels-wood

[Klunk]

Hey,

Where can I find nice wood cannon/wagon wheels?

Something between 8" and 20". ...?

You have a decent population of mennonites down there, I'd say they would be the place to go.

Maybe....I'm looking for the miniature style...a foot or less in diameter

24" but what are the odds, in the EE right now:

Here ya go. Found these a while back when looking at wooden wheels for a cowboy gun kart.

Hmmm wonder how much it would cost me to build a battery of guns?

"...decent population of mennonites..." Not down Niagara way. Kitchener and this way. Having a wheel made wouldn't be cheap. I suspect you'd find 'em on-line without much fuss.
"...to build a battery of guns..." Four guns to a battery. Where you gonna get the wee horses? snicker.

If you have a wood-lathe, it's not all that much work to make some. Hard part will be the Patterns.

Seasoned Ash for spokes and Hub, iron Tyre to be shrunk on afterwards.

Well...

I have a major patience problem-so I made my own hybrid steel/wood wheels about ten inches in diameter...

Very neat..

Looks awesome!
How about a range report lol

I've got some heavy / wide wood 24" up for sale on the board, artillery style. Just the ticket for long, boggy artillery engagements.

Not only are they beautifully made but there is a hell of a pile of work in making them

cheers mooncoon

It will fire a golf ball through a barn door at 80 yards (don't hit the frame or the golf ball comes back to you....fast)

Want a lead ball mold for that fella? Drops a 12oz ball from the first cavity and a 16oz / 1lb from the second, golf ball bore sized.

Oooo-now that's cool!!
