I built a 4 wheel cart similar to a cart I saw at a fort in Canada. But the only wheels I had were cast iron. I called an Amish wheel shop about wooden spoke wheels. It would run $80 a piece for the 4 wheels.

Well, if you want more support for your decision, all of the Amish wheels that I have seen are built using Sarven or more recent style steel hubs and are only correct for 1857 forward.
Congrats for not spending money on non PC wheels!

The one Amish shop I stopped at offered wooden hub wheels as well as metal hubs. But they were much higher in price.
