What is your limber modeled after, it looks like a Mt. Howitzer prairie stye, is it?,  To bad you don't have access to wooden wheels,  but I will ask how much for a Mt. Howitzer prairie carriage? with and without wheels. 

Where are you located?

 powder2 burn, I'm not sure which one it is.  I found the photo on a web site and for some reason, I can't access it again.  I'll try to find out for you.  I do have access to wooden wheels as we all do in the reference section above.  The guy who bought this limber already had a steel wheeled cannon that I built so it's a matched pair.  Also, I try to make as many parts in-house as possible to keep the cost of the cannons affordable. I have no problem using wooden wheels if someone prefers that.  Let me know what size the howitzer is [wheel diameter] and I can give you a price either with or without wheels.  I am located in Morgantown, Pennsylvania 19543.  Dom

Dom,

Shouldn't the hinge be on the other side?

As always, Great work Dom. That would look great hitched up to a cannon ;D Now all you need is some mini horses to drag them around with.

 Hey EL Cazador,

 Be nice to us Mini owners. ;D I couldn't tow that limber, It's got metal wheels and it would make quite the racket going down the road...... :D



 Dom,

The limber looks good. I'd bet it will look good hooked up to your customers cannon.


P.S.- Let's not get of the topic with the girls in the photo. They were just models at the car show.

        Doug, Yes.  The box can be bolted in either direction.  Thanks, everyone for the compliments.
