Authentic St. Catherine Cutter of beautiful

hand-finished. hand-shaped basswood

sleigh-makers still take

days to make one.

18

days of the most careful

and painstaking hand labor.

18

days to slowly steam and shape each indi–

vidual piece of basswood to form the body and steel-edged runners .. to

hand-forge the metal trim and undercarriage . . to hand-upholster the seat

in plush velour . . to apply 9 finishing coats of lacquer and enamel. When

done, they have built more than just a fine quality sleigh. They have created

this unique and beautiful example of the true craftsman's skill .. a work

of art of understandably limited supply. As an outdoor ornamentation,

it would enhance the beauty of any home from Miami to Alaska. About
