Is there any lead in that paint? Definitely not.
All of our sleds are made with non-toxic finishes, and we have them regularly tested so we are sure that they are lead-free. We use wood dyes to bring out the color and figure of the wood, and then a clear lacquer or polyurethane on top. We put on four coats of lacquer or three coats of polyurethane to create a marine-grade finish. Please contact us if you'd like a copy of the test reports. At the same time, we have all of our products tested to make sure they meet child safety standards, and they do.
Our Environmental Commitment
We are working hard to minimize the impact of all of our operations on the environment. Some key elements include:
Using only recycled cardboard packaging
Choosing only fast-growing, common, sustainable hardwoods such as birch, willow and maple
Ensuring that every part of the wood is used. Smaller pieces are turned into kicksled slats or Christmas ornaments, and the smallest bits end up in our woodstove or in the wood-drying kiln.
Just as important, making products that last! We think it makes sense to buy a sled (or wagon or scooter) that will last for years, rather than buying a cheaper sled that won't last nearly as long.
The Ultimate Flyer is an elegant, hand-made beauty that glides and turns like no other sled you've ever tried. The entire front section of the sled pivots, letting you make much sharper turns than on a conventional flexible flyer. And, it looks great standing on the porch in between sled runs. FREE SHIPPING
Mountain Boy kicksleds are an artistic interpretation of a traditional, time-tested Nordic design. The sled body, including the very comfortable slatted seat, is made of American white ash. Soldout
Sometimes the perfect gift is something extraordinary -- beautiful, unique, playful. The Elegant Flyer is just that, a sled built like a piece of fine furniture that trumps everything else on the sledding hill.
Silverton Kicksled by Mountain Boy SledWorks. Seat fits one child or adult. Kicksledding is pure joy, and turns nearly all sledders into mountain boys and girls.
