Wood Cannon Ball Cups
« on: August 08, 2015, 04:39:15 PM »
Hello,

Does anyone make or know where I can get the wooden base cups for larger caliber (6.4-inch, 7-inch, 8-inch, 9-inch, 10-inch, 11-inch) cannon balls?  My current need is for a 9-inch base.  Thanks.
Best,
Carl

Check and see if the Atlanta area has a Woodworker's Guild or something similar and they may be able to help you out.
