My 24-pounder naval cannon has a European oak carriage, unvarnished at the contact points with the steel trunnions and cap squares, and there's no visible rust after about 16 years. Thanks for the heads-up on the stripwood - I'd been looking for thinnish hardwood to make stuff out of with the little jigsaw I just got from Lidl.
