    Posted: 18 Jun 2017 at 8:42am
Back in 1988, my Dad hand built this old time wooden sled for me for a christmas present. It's middle board was painted a reddish-orange then. We (our 4 kids, their friends, plus my wife & I) all sledded many a hills & snow drifts with it. So, decades took their toll, kids grew up, & it became a rustic christmas decoration near our front door. It needed refinished.
To my surprise this morning as a Father's Day gift, my loving wife presented what you see below to me. She & her step-Dad, refinished it. My step-father in law sanded it, did some wood filler, & sealed it. My wife painted the orange board & did the AC logo by hand. Step-father in law did the lettering. He used to do door letter painting back in his high school years (late 1930s-1940s). 

A little old lettering with the newer logo.

That's very nice and thoughtful. I never understood how those worked . Around here we have to use one that doesn't have those runners our snow must be different

That is a neat sled. I wish I would of kept my first sled. Although it had steel runners I used it a lot sliding down the town road hills. My cousin had one like that, that his dad built.
