Project Done



This is my version of the drogue, or sled. Had I done my homework, I would have found a log with straight grain. This log, maybe Ash, wasn't and when I split it, we almost went clear around. So one runner runs on bark and the other on the split side. But it is kind of cute and the front came out as it should (turned up so as not to catch when it is pulled) and it if the Mule won't pull it, I'll just decorate it for the Season. I also learned a bit about chiseling. The front brace and back supports had to be chiseled smaller to be set securely into the log.

Here, the sled is adorned with colorful oak leaves.
