My museum is working with a neighbouring city to restore two 1850s British
cannons. They have a wheelwright making four replica wooden cannon wheels
for these guns. This is in British Columbia, Canada. Contact me off line at
my work e-mail stevens@city.burnaby.bc.ca and I can put you in touch with
the fellow.
There are some other wheelwrights throughout Canada and the USA who can
probably be found through Civila War re-enactment groups and museums, so you
may find one closer to where you are - wherever that is.
