Book 3 — A One-Runner Sled
Reading edition
The Barrel Stave Has a Sufficient Curve to Make It Pass Smoothly over Hard Snow
Just an ordinary barrel stave, with a center post and a crossboard for a seat, makes a good one-runner sled. Select a good, smooth stave for the runner and securely fasten the upright, which is 1 ft. long, to it in the center. The seat is made of a board, about 1¹⁄₂ ft. long, nailed to the upper end of the upright.
