Key & Letter Holder made from a Reclaimed Toboggan

The wooden toboggan has numerous aesthetic elements. Its raw material and its forming process give a special value to this object. It represents happy memories of winter time, especially here in Canada. I tried to use its existing elements to create a unique piece for the small entrance hall at my home.

The final result is more than just a key and letter holder. It's also a chalkboard and most of all, an object of discussion !

This is the perfect simple project for winter time. Put your favourite Christmas music on and start this project !

Original idea - Anne Claude

The best catch-all I've ever seen. Hey, if you install cork-board in one section (maybe under the chalkboard?) imagine the possibilities!!!
