Oak counterweight trebuchet

Medieval counterweight trebuchet in weathered oak, saved cocked: two braced A-frames on an 8 m sole-beam base carry a 9.3 m iron-banded throwing arm on iron bearings, a hinged plank counterweight box filled with earth and stones, a hemp-rope sling with a leather pouch in a planked guide chute, an iron release prong and trigger hook, and twin treadwheels that wind the hauling rope. Grey checked oak, dark rusted iron, frayed rope, mud on the base and boot-scuffed treads; the arm swings to 12 m when released.
