| Portfolio- Custom Cannons & Carriages for Non-Firing barrels Sold - Pg 2 |
This replica cannon was a customers request for display in their Houston restaurant at the Taste Of Texas. It is based on the "Come and Take It" cannon barrel in the museum in Gonzales, Texas. An important part of Texas history, this barrel is full scale at 21 ½” long and 3 7/16" diameter at the muzzle the same as in the museum. Due to space constraints, My customer opted to have the cannon mounted on a wooden stand instead of a carriage. The “stand” mimics the way the barrel is mounted on the carriage in the museum. The wood barrel is faux painted and the metal straps are hand forged then aged for the historic nostalgic look. |
These 3 replica "Come and Take It" Gonzales, Tx. Cannons were made for a customer who is opening a gun club in Fort Bend County and it will be called "Texas Gun Club" and have a Texas theme. These table size display pieces will be displayed there. |
