Here they are taking shape - with some of the cord and bronze cleats I picked up for the lashing. Designed the cradles on the computer with Adobe Illustrator, printed out 1:1 plans, transferred them to cardboard to check fit, then cut the redwood Went great - until I ran out of pegs! Heading back to town today to pic up some more. Was able to get 1 of the 2 cradles assembled The new cradle and lashing design makes it easy to display the cannon at various angles, and to lash it vertical for drinking. Plan on torching them this afternoon. Can't wait! Mahalo, Henrik "VanTiki"
