It's always a joy to make a THANK YOU give for some friends - Reindeer & Sleigh

Over the year I've received support, encouragement and offcuts from a couple of friends,
 so with Christmas coming it was time to make a gift for them. 

Of course Papa Smurf & Handy Smurf were excited to help.

The sleigh is recycled Merbau boards and American Oak offcuts.
Approx 12" [300mm] long, 5.5" [140mm] wide and 8" [200mm] high

And the reindeer is Cypress Pine flooring offcuts.
Note the red Bloodwood nose and the black Starbond CA glue eye.

The finish is my homemade wipe-on-poly.

Have a blessed & safe Christmas to one and all as you celebrate with family & friends, remembering the "Reason for the Season".

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".

Very iconic! You could fit the entire Smurf clan or add a few hundred miniature presents!
Sharp looking project, good job.
