Default Danish M/1834 cannonball/grenade restored....

Recently I bought a couple of canonballs. They have been on display on a Danish military base, but there where no longer space for them. On display they where "glued" together in a pyramid, using iron sticks and concrete.
It took a couple of evenings, using concrete drills and an old screwdriver as a chisel, but finally I managed to remove all of the concrete. Afterwards 3 days of electrolycis. And finally some renwax.
An old man down the road made the wooden "donut" for me.
I think it looks great, what do you think ?
Best
HB

By the way... the canonball is a 149mm

I use plastic curtain rings to keep them in order.

Thanks Fernando.

Nice collection !

That's another way to keep them in order, looks fine. I saw some acrylic stands on a webside that looked nice too.... But i think they cost too much.

Thst's the problem; acrylic objects are rather expensive; plastic is not .
