Wagon wheels:

The Amish have them...but they are not made for decoration and are not cheap.

I purchased a set of 4 last year (two will go for my cannon) and I have two spare...originals from the 1800's.

They are up for grabs at 90.00 a piece. Steel rim over wood frame & spokes, original gray patina-made for farm use.
I also have a pair of iron wagon wheels that came with the original gun...LOOK like wood but are all cast steel: 140.00 for the pair...never have to worry about termites!--Always look good.-Very heavy!

The decorative ones you buy for outside gardens will NOT last more than two years around here unless they are covered & sprayed for termites.

Sorry I don't have pictures but let me see what the prices were when I went shopping last year:

This is what you find on e-bay:

Mine are far more sturdy.

Or you could try:

(realism was not their strong point)

Thanks for the info H.

But the wife said "no", actually it was "HELL NO".

I guess she doesn't like my decorative side.

I think you should assert yourself as the man of the house and build your wagon wheel bench and display it prominently. As an additional show of manliness I would hang that "dogs playing pool" in the living room and the velvet Elvis in the bedroom :yay:
