The Gun Carriage
Most carriages were made of oak, but walnut, chestnut and maple were also used. The wheels were constructed of either elm or beech. The carriages were a variety of colors including gray, rust, white, and dark blue. In 1780, Washington ordered all carriages painted a light blue in honor of France, light blue being the French royal color.
