[SML] Wiggle wood for a cannon?

[Kevin Lee Allen]

Model in Vectorworks and use the Unfold Surfaces command to get the shape. Cut that into smaller truncated segments to skin the frame.

Once you like the shape and the diameters are appropriate, you can use that heavy paper as a template for laying out on the bendy board.  Remember that bending lauan can be had with the bend across the width or along the width.  Those half-round shapes wrapping the front of the barrel and at the "breech" in the image are good candidates for split Ethafoam backer rod or split pool noodles.
