Project Information

I was ask to make this for a Christmas display for the Wichita Historical Museum.

Its 16" wide and 66" long. Made out of Quarter sawn Ash and English Brown Oak. The runners are bent laminations. They are made out of 8 pcs. each, 2 ash and 6 English brown oak. Used West Systems epoxy for all the glue ups. Hellmans Spar Urethane is the finish.

After the museum display it went to all my nieces and nephews in Nebraska for Christmas.

Thanks Les

Les,

I hope your nieces and nephews are getting lots of snow to really enjoy that beautiful toboggan! (Our ground is nearly bare.)

Great looking toboggan.

Did you use a steam box to bend the wood? I have been thinking about getting steam box set up. Would be interested in learning more about this process.
