Progress / Re: Finish on Carriage

Either way it will look good, paint with polished brass hubs would be neat.  I went the other way, not wanting to cover up the oak. http://www.gatlinggunforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=1460.0

Progress / Finish on Carriage

« Last post by Larryx on March 25, 2022, 08:55:41 PM »

I am approaching the point where I will complete the 2 wheels carriage. I am using Paul's plans plus photos of actual guns as a guide  and it appears that the finish of choice is a dark green paint. Seems a shame to paint what is carefully selected oak lumber as defined on the print but I would like to achieve as close to actual finish as possible which appears to be the paint.  Any of you guys that have reached and passed this built point have any suggestions? I was fortunate to buy a sufficient amount of brass  stock to follow the print at the last Cabin Fever auction (January 2022) and intend o put a mirror finish on the wheel furniture.
