    Hi AON, I have been reading your post with some interest as I have dug out a project of two 32lb cannons which I started around 1995 when I was working on the restoration of HMS Victory. The barrels have been turned from some original copper bolts from Victory and the carriage and plinth are from an oak deck beam that was inscribed with a date of 1811 from the post Battle of Trafalgar refit. If you look closely at the edge of the plinth you can see where the worm/beetle has left its calling card. I intend to get these finished by the end of the year but will be leaving the copper and oak free of any paint due to their significance. Your post has inspired me to complete these cannons and get them in a decent display case. Thanks Q
