Since the first two sleighs were a hit and also sold, I made a third, here is Santa’s sleigh #3 Just in time for the Christmas Holidays, this is my own design and creation, I handcrafted this sleigh from Red Cedar, the skids are made out of Maple along with the candy cane handle and the bench seat is made from Walnut
What makes this box so special and unique is that it offers three large drawers with one hidden drawer, on top is also more storage area for anything you’d might like to put up there, inside of the far left drawer lies a hidden drawer, by pulling the drawer out and turning it facing the rear of the drawer it reveals the hidden drawer shown in the photos. once again this is my own design and creation a one of a kind.
It is finished in several coats of gloss Lacquer which is a 3 day process to give this box a high-gloss appearance. Finishing is a vital part in creating a work of art and a great product.
Dimensions of this box are 15” W x 7” H x 5” D
Thanks for looking always look forward to your comments :)

Another beautiful project and the finish is amazing! I have such a difficult time getting gloss to look good. This looks awesome! :)

Another great box, Randy. Did you use a scroll saw for the runners?

No Donna I used the bandsaw but I was just discussing that with Shelia, I never thought about using the scrollsaw, what I did, I took a 4” x 2” x 15” block of maple, cut the design out using a 3/16th 14tpi blade with the carter stabilizer then sliced it into 3/8” slices so I have enough to make several more sleds at once though it may of been quicker the way I did it, I might have gotten a cleaner cut using the scrollsaw.

Very, very nice.. I do like the walnut accent and the glossy finish..
Hopefully the person who gets this will keep it out all year. There are people who keep Christmas items out or on display all year long. This is a beauty.

Nice work Randy!
A lot of work goes into designing and actually building a project no matter how big or small it may be.
It must pleasing to the eye, be functional and durable. Your Santa’s Sled meets this criteria and more! It’s so nice to just look at and it really could hold some of Santa’s gifts!
Merry Christmas!
