Our Classic Wood Toboggan is a Piece of Art That is Meant To Be Used!
“As an avid seeker of experiences for my family, love for winter, design and quality, I have been beyond inspired and appreciative of our Northern Toboggan sleds. My husband and I purchased one for each of our snow and thrill-seeking sons with their last names etched into the sleds. The memories we have created are priceless. I find myself squinting into the future with a smile because I can see my sons enjoying sledding with their families one day, passing down the experiences and sense of life that these heritage pieces have brought us. Northern Toboggan has become one of our favorite heritage brands that has enriched our winters as a family.”

Crafted Responsibly and for a Lifetime
Our Wood Philosophy
- Why red oak? Because of its durability, beauty and natural bending qualities. It was also the preference of the Sled Maker's mentor.
- Our red oak is sourced responsibly and purchased from mills who we have developed partnerships with over the decades. They invest time in hand selecting "toboggan grade” boards for us which is the highest level of grading in the wood industry.
Roping Matters
- Full roping is included with each heirloom toboggan.
- The pull rope is a soft but strong double braided nylon.
- The rope around the perimeter of the toboggan is a low-stretch polyester that is weather resistant and proven to last.
Details Matter
- Stainless steel hardware is used in each toboggan.
- A natural looking finish is achieved through using a linseed oil based coating. This is preferred for its beauty, wood preservative qualities, and historical legacy as an outdoor wood finish.
Century Old Tradition
Our Traditional Steam Bending
- We steam bend by hand, in small batches. No chemicals are used in this process.
- We keep in mind that each piece of wood is unique. Each will bend and flex differently requiring true craftmanship.
- This steam bending technique has been passed down for generations.
