Metalwork - Projects -The Cannon

The design of this Cannon is based on a Light 6 Pounder Gun. There is a lot of the project that you can redesign yourself.

Steel would be the most realistic metal to use however Brass looks very good as this will be an ornament. For the wood we suggest a dark timber such as Teak or Mahogany. Click Here to see some samples of different types of woods.
