Sled
My second sled/sleigh build this winter for another child of some friends. Slight modification of plans in an old Canadian Woodworker magazine. I built this out of cherry (because it looks good) and hickory (because it looks good and I had a bunch of suitable scraps). In hindsight, the hickory was a poor choice b/c it weighs a ton.
Finished with 6 coats of tung oil and a coat of paste wax. The runners are aluminum.

Thanks guys! Not too much snow up in the Soo right now; we’ve had almost 30 inches fall so far but the majority of it has melted after a week of warm weather and rain. We live on Lake Superior and normally by this time there are ice fishing huts out on the lake but there isn’t even any ice yet this year…

Rob,
That’s a great looking sled. The extra weight will build muscles while having fun! ;-)
