| My customer had a 24 pounder Brooks USA brass barrel and I built him this firing Naval/Ships carriage for it made of oak and painted a dark antique walnut stain. All metal is hand forged iron and painted flat black. *** CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL *** Recently I received one of your custom made carriages with a Michael Brooks barrel mounted on it. I can't describe how overjoyed I was when I opened the box, and saw the craftsmanship of your carriage!! You and Michael Brooks complement each others work! Michaels barrel mounted on your carriage is an unparalleled work of art, that will bring me joy for many years! I look forward to doing business with you again. With Many Thanks, (Frank in New York, 2013) |
| I bought a "Brooks USA" Napoleon brass barrel and I built a firing qtr. scale No. 2 Field Carriage for it for my customer. The carriage is made of oak and stained a dark walnut. All metal is hand forged iron and painted flat black. This same customer also purchased a Limber Ammunition Chest that I had for sale. It also is stained a dark walnut with hand forged metal trimmings and flat black paint. |
| My customer has a 3 in bore revolutionary war canon and he needed to replace the carriage with a naval carriage I made him. The barrel is approx 600-700 lbs and is original. It is 48 inches in length. I stained it with a Jacobean stain color. |
