Finally got that big piece of oak cut down and finished, got the hardware on to make sure everything fits before I break back down and linseed oil it and get ready for final paint. Hope to be completed in 2 more weeks so I can get the wheels on and the tube mounted.

Looks great!!.....You do good work!!.....I wish you could come over and help me with mine! I have a howitzer that needs a new trail and some wheel work, but I am afraid of the cost of the wood!! :smile:
Thanks for posting updates!! I appreciate it!

If you would send me ([email protected]) some photos of what your looking at I might be able to help. I have a great wood source in that one of my best friends owns the wood yard, wood mill and the veneer mill. I really enjoyed doing.
 
Thanks, No the hardware came with the original carriage which was a blessing as I would not be near as far along without it.
