ture. But recently, Von Fange has added cannonballs.
At the Woodville Bicentennial in 1998, Von Fange placed a few cannonballs on the ground around his furniture display. The idea was to decorate. But, people were interested and wanted to buy them.
The cannonballs have a flat bottom so they are perfect for holding a door open. He buys the cannonballs from a wholesaler with the dates and letters already forged into them. His job, at that point, is to make them look old. He does this by forcing them to rust.
Von Fange says that at the bicentennial, he had “the authentic, real ones. There was a re-enactment with Civil War soldiers. My tables are old fashioned made from wood of that era. Heart pine wood.”
Von Fange describes his latest product as “a souvenir cannonball with function and sex appeal.”
