My friends at RYOBI asked me to do a holiday-themed project and we thought that a sled/toboggan would be fun. Toboggans are traditionally made from a single piece of curved wood. I was interested in creating a modern twist on this simple sled by applying an aggressive angled geometry. This faceted sled made from plywood and 2x4s is an affordable project that can bring hours of holiday fun.
