Thought i would start working on some christmas items, before it gets to late. Here is a sleigh i just finished, now to do the horses.

The sleigh looks great cliff! You're obviously a heckuva lot smarter than me, starting on the holiday stuff now!!!

Well you are one step ahead of me.

seyit,
We had snow fall here yesterday, nothing to shake a stick at but it snowed. Bozeman which is just about 150 miles east of me had 8 inches yesterday.

Nice job on your sleigh. You are right on the ball, I still have three sleighs all cut out ready for paint from last year, but after your post I think I willsay they are new for this year.lol.

I used 3/4 in. Birch ply. not real pleased with the outcome though, because of the edges facing up, the wood ply's stand out more than i want. Thinking about 3/4 in cedar next time, if i can find 1x10's, if not may try gluing two 1x6's together.

Very cool sled. I like the design!

G'day Cliff,
Nice design mate.
You certainly are a head of the game, getting Xmas stuff done already.
Well done.
