Hi Fernando,
You're determined to let loose with a 'broadside', c'mon admit it!

Kind Regards,
Norman.

Impressive indeed, these two guys,

Actually two of a kind - including the touch hole mouldings and various other details!

Best,
Michael

Based on the "Bàton à feu" in exhibition at the chateau de Castelnaud, i am making a pair of stocks for these two barrels.
Still to do a couple touch ups on the handles and provide them with some hanging devices; probably a just hole in the smaller one and an iron ring on the larger one ... if i find it somewhere, preferably in the junk, instead of shinning new.

The larger one now with a suspension ring.
This ring was extracted from an old and worn double hook device, which i think was for suspending big pots on the fire, or the like. The seller didn’t know what it was.
