David, I cut up some small blocks of wood for her. They are sanded and stained. She’s going to paint ribbons on them so they can be presents. You should see how happy she is. She keeps saying MeMaw is going to cry with joy.

The most important thing you accomplished was time with the kids. Grandma will also see that part in the sled itself. A cherished heirloom.

Nice Sled, Mark

Guys,

I retract the comment about this sled being more work than it was worth. Every one of you has helped me understand things a little better. Because my 11 year old daughter helped me make it, the sled is perfect. It’s priceless. I’m watching my daughter right now as she arranges the little block presents around to achieve the ultimate look. She keeps talking about it. We are spending these last few minutes getting ready to go and she is excited about getting to grandma’s and presenting the sled to ring in the season.

Thanks for the comments my friends. You all guys are awesome.

It is this type of project and the sharing of it with family and friends that help to make this site awesome, thank
you for adding your effort to make this worth sharing. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

This must be something surreal for your kid.
It is absolutely beautiful!

This is a priceless treasure. Your daughter will look back on this and remember the time she spent with her dad in the shop back in 2012. She did a great job on the block “presents”.
