We manufacture
custom 1780's era Ship's Cannon Sea Carriages. All carriages are made
of the hardest wood (Mohogany hardness or equivilant). The wood is
varnished so that it appears dark in color like the originals. The two
main side bolts that hold the carriage together are the old iron
square-head type. All the other fittings used are brass fittings for
originality. Even the four wheel pins are brass.
