Not a bad guess George----the wife does make something like that-------but that aint it.
I did get the second log cut this afternoon-------I had to saw this from a log to get what I needed-----6x6--4 foot long ---Black walnut. I cut the log square with a chainsaw then resawed it to size on a bandsaw-- 2.5 hours just for one piece of wood and trashed the bandsaw blade.
Hint------mounting the wheels is next

Ok here's where I am at in this adventure---not real sure of the next step---seems like there are several ways to go.
I have a real nice --very old weathered 4x4 Red Oak and I was thinking of doing something like what is shown in the pic---any ideals??

I would go for bead blasting the metal rims and then having them powder coated gun metal gray or black. Be sure to post a picture of the finished cannon.
BTW, just what caliber banksia pod will the cammon 'fire'?

Before anyone asks, I have absolutely no idea as to what on earth a 'cammon' is. It was supposed to be caNNon, but my fat fingers got in the way... heck I even have a spell check and forgot to use that too.
I'm going to bed as I fell like I might hurt myself if I don't. G'nite everyone!

If I would of cleaned and painted the rims----you could just cut the price in half----the person that will buy this wants it to look old. Thanks for the thought ----I am going to try and get this out of the shop today.
