Give small children safe and happy sledding with this push or pull sleigh.

Any crafty person with a few hand tools can make a pair of lamps similar to the one shown in the photograph for a minimal cost. Try to select seasoned, clear-grained wood. There should be no knots unless you want to use the lamps in a knotty pine amusement room or den. Birch, maple or oak is excellent if you have the proper tools for working it. You will need eight feet of stock dressed to 1 1/2" x 3 5/8".
This vintage salt and pepper shaker set also includes an oval stand to hold the shakers and also a "mustard pot". I would turn the "mustard pot" into a sugar bowl personally. The recommended wood for this set is rosewood or ebony.
