Got a bunch of extra old skis laying around, and was wondering what types of suggestions there were out there for building shit with skis.

I know the traditional bench/chair but was wondering if there were any other good ideas.
This is the main site I have found:

You should make like, the head board to a bed out of skis. That would look so cool

Did you construct the base of the chair yourself with skis, or is there like a woodframe type thing on it?

I made a frame out of mahogany to support the arms/seat/back but everything else is skis.

A far better use would be to send them my way... But you could probably make a shelf out of like 4 skis

kinda stupid question but if you make the back of the chair with the topsheets showing, do the pointy tips dig into your back or neck? im thinking bases showing would be more comfortable or maybe im just dumb

You make those pieces long enough to avoid the head and neck of a person sitting in the chair. I've broken so many park skis over the years that I almost have enough for a full size adirondack bench. That's what I'm saving them for :)

could you take a picture of the legs of the chair? I just want to see the full setup so I can modify mine off your design.

If I am successful, I will be sure to send something your way :)

...they are.
I even put clear P-tex over the screws.
I might add a cup holder made out of 2 toe pieces, but I think that would be too tacky
