Onager

     In addition to repairing my ballista, I am constructing an Onager.  It will be roughly the same size as the ballista but will probably be able to shoot farther.  The ballista shoots in a straight rolling shot, the onager should probably shoot with more of an arc.  I am making the onager out of oak.  I made the ballista out of pine and it gets dented easily, so with the onager I wanted to make sure it would last awhile.  Below are some photographs of the progress.
