This is absolutely the nicest looking model cannon I have ever seen. The detail is outstanding. You have done such a wonderful job. That cannon deserves a show table of its own. You have a right to be very proud of that job. I like it very much. You have out done yourself.

Thanks for all the kind comments. The number of hours that goes into one of these things is staggering. It seems like you are never done. There is always something left to do.
Here is a short video of one of these firing a blank load.

That is magnificent. What is the bore size?

 

[zulu]

The bore size is 1.032". That allows the use of a 1" ball with proper windage.
Barrel 20" long
Wheels 15" tall
Barrel 29 lbs.
Carriage 18 lbs.

Incredible workmanship. I appreciate every aspect of the work but the wheels really drew my attention. Looks as though you steam bent the felloes rather than sawEd wood cross grain and the hub and dished spokes are outstanding. Perfect!

I didn't build the wheels or make the barrel. The wheels come from Amishcraft.com.

I make everything else.
