12-pounder Carronade 1840

Superb construction and finishing! Thank you for sharing.
I'd love to see details of the crafting of the barrel.
 
The barrel was machined from lilac, lilac — my favorite material for such parts. External parts were made separately and glued into milled grooves. This is followed by a primer in 3 layers with intermediate grinding and 2 layers of matte paint. The main thing — is to choose a tree so that no lies appear when painting! All barrel lifting details are bronze.
