Is it basswood? Did you paint or stain it?
. It is polyurathane semi-gloss. Basswood and I used polyurathane on it. I think I've figured out somewhat Sitting Bull's more round face. Another twenty or thiirty years i may make the big time...maybe.

This video gave me the idea for a quick project today. Those little mug are about the size of beer can.





I grabbed a steel stub I have and cut off a 4 1/2" long piece-diameter 2.5" inches. I drilled a 3 inch deep hole 3/4" diameter. Then I drilled a 13/64 vent hole. I tapered the top outside from 2.5" down to 2.25 for 3 " at the muzzle.

I did a test fire today.




Sounds like a loud shotgun going off. Same shot from two different camera's.

Not as good as my big thunder mugs however.



I thought it was going to be something like this:

Todays project, a pop can mortar.

This mortar replicates a Confederate 24 PDR Coehorn mortar.

With 200 grains FG maximum charge it will toss a soda gun full of cement out about 150 yards and a round ball 200 yards.

I have two more tubes to build yet. One will be like this and the last one will replicate an 1841 8" seacoast mortar.
