sled ornament
« on: July 20, 2010, 10:10:49 pm »
Here is my first sled.  Wood is Paduck for the body and Maple for the runners.   I still have 8 more to cut, but the lady I bought the maple from did not sell me enough for all the runners.  I could only get four sets from the piece she sold me.

Did you stack cut these? I cut out about four sets of these a couple years ago. They are good sellers. Good Job

That really looks nice Cherie.  I made about 30 of them a couple years ago and they really make nice gifts.  I used both red and white ribbon for the pull rope and then used that to hang them with.  I still have about 6 for my tree.  As a variation you can scroll names in the back too.

I forgot to mention that the pattern is by Shelia Landry.  I did not stack cut, the Paduck is 1/4 thick and the runners are 1/8 thick.
