Restore or just leave it be? That is the question.

Always heard if you tell the amish wheel wright what you wanted the wheels for they would not do it. Is this true.

Don’t know. All the wheels I had them build were for my horse drawn vehicles. In addition to that I myself was a full time farrier and a blacksmith. So even though I was an outsider the relationship was different because I made a living in what they considered to be a respected trade. Mutual professional respect I guess you would call it. I would have someone else call about cannon wheels and if it gets rejected call a few days later about needing wheels for a little cart you bought at a yard sale

Good Ideal, a bit un-truthful though. I grew up in Mennonite country my wife has relatives that are Mennonite good hard working folks. I would not let them find out about the fib bad juju ya know.

Do you know who made them? Or where they came from?

I am in Amish country also. Not just wheels. Leather. Smithing. They are not gun smiths or gun builders. But they do things our community has forgotten how to do. Forgotten for 2+ generations.
