<p>[QUOTE="Rayo56, post: 152260, member: 2022"]If you notice the ring is made of 6 solid pieces of wood then just glued together then held in place with the brass "spokes" - that type of construction would never hold up in a humid environment like on the waters. Real ship wheels have different layers of wood that overlap the glue joints - Kinda like the way they build with bricks - the joints are always over lapped for strength!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
