Replying to Wanted: help us make some furniture out of skis
Reposting the craigslist ad that I posted, if anyones got a friend or dad that might be interested, let me know!
We're a small ski manufacturer located in SE Portland, and we need a carpenter/experienced furniture maker/craftsman/??? to help us make a few chairs or benches to donate to a ski charity (American Cancer Society, Hope on the Slopes). Heres the catch - we want them to be made out of skis. We have two or three dozen blem and broken skis here at our factory that are taking up space, and since they're made of bamboo, fiberglass and UHMW, they're certainly strong enough to do the trick. We're going to donate whatever is made to the charity for a fundraising auction, but if anyone is willing to help us out with some design or crafting, would be much appreciated, and goes towards a great cause. Might make a cool page in an artists portfolio as well. Got a few months to plan and we dont mind doing grunt work, so hopefully this will be a leisure project!
