I found this toboggan in rough shape at our local Habitat for Humanity ReStore several years ago. I had consequently stored it away both in and out of doors, taking up storage space between two moves and filed away on the mental heap of good intentions.

I found it again a couple nights ago, which was good timing, because it seems fall in Prescott got short shrift (despite some long-lasting and glorious foliage for once) and we are off to the races for winter. Cold temps and snows are upon us.

I hope whoever purchases this bench (or long coffee table, if you prefer) will be able to enjoy this winter artifact all year round. Stout black iron pipe legs make the sitting height very comfortable.

To get the necessary rigidity for the bench, a piece of reclaimed scaffolding plank was added to the underside of the sled. This piece is for sale now at Revised, in downtown Prescott.
Sometimes with a little help, a simple artifact can become something extraordinary. I used to go fishing with my dad when I was a kid in Pennsylvania, and we would sometimes take a minnow bucket like this with us to keep the live bait he would catch in a local stream.
This first one is a Christmas gift for a faithful client, but you can bet I’ll be making more soon.
