This is one of the projects I completed this past winter. I made this ash and walnut sled for one of my grandsons. His older brother has one I made five years ago and it’s still going strong. The runners and ribs are six layers of ash shaped over a form and laminated with expoxy.

Bill this is too nice to use, but I’m sure your grandsons enjoy them a great deal.
Very interesting construction…looks like a lot of fun to make too.

Now this is a first class sled. It is strong, well built, and is gorgeous. It is much better than the commercial ones that are available.
Very nice. It is a one of a kind piece that your grandchildren can put it away when they get older and share it with their children.
Very well done.
