Toboggan--Ride of the season

[Darrick Robbins]

Hey everyone,
As I was traveling through the great state of Wisconsin I happened to see a toboggan on top of a car. I don't know if they were hoping for a big snow or if they got skunked hunting deer (everyone else had them riding everywhere). Anyway it got me to thinking about making one. Does anyone have any plans for one, or has anyone made one in the past? There must be some wood bending involved. What woods are the most appropriate for making them?

Have a great holiday season everyone.

I don't know if this is what you are looking for or not, but this is my second one of these.

I would think white oak would be a good choice if you are going to steam bend the runners.
