Old Insurance Gun Carriage

[cannonmn]

The sideshow shows all that's left of an old Insurance Gun carriage.  It would fit in a box 36x13x3 inches.  Seems to be oak.  I leave it to your imagination to come up with what the rest of it looked like.  When I got it 30 years ago it was pure white and too dry so I fed it some linseed oil, maybe not a good idea but did it.

What are you going to do with it ?

Hi Gary, long time...  Well I recently sent in my GB sponsor renewal fee, after noticing piles of stuff in the warehouse that someone here might like, so when my renewed status is official you will strart seeing sale items.  I like this piece of wood because it reminds me of a whale, but it may get into the sale pile too, we have way too much stuff here.

Well, maybe you should rue the day you treated the wood with linseed oil, because if this piece were still bone white, it would definitely look like a folk art "Moby Dick." At least that's the first thing that I thought of when I saw it.

Thanks for posting, I really like the shape of that, somehow reminds me of some chinese carriages I've seen.
