C/ Alphabe-Thursday

 CHAIR made of skis

This week's Alphabe-Thursday challenge: C

Here's an idea for recycling skis, which I think is rather clever. Have you ever seen this style of chair before?

We live in a ski area where making chairs of old skis is popular. These are great.

Andy said...

What a coincidence! I just photographed a similar chair made from hockey sticks.

Pretty clever and also a good idea. MB

A great idea in those times where we all need to be careful with money!Did you sit there? are they comfortable?..

I have never seen this before, but it seems like a good way to recycle old skis.

Clever Canadian Chair on C day.

Paulie said...

A great day for me to stop in to visit! Love those ski "benches." The ones I have seen are shortened tho. . . guess they cut the skis in half to make a longer bench?

cieldequimper said...

Those are great (but don't ever ask me to get onto skis! I prefer bobsleighing!)

Lowell said...

Oh, I really like these! Very creative and colorful!

Ingenious but I think it probably needs some cushions!

They would be for royalty...at least that was my first thought when I saw what it was.

penny said...

If the chair had skies on the bottom I just might try sliding down a slippery slope.
I love the rainbow of colors.

Hugs,

Those are great chairs. Around me, that would be the safest use of skis!

Ah we'll be needing these soon! We won't have our first snow this year until this weekend, but at the Buck Hill not far from my house they are already busy making snow!

Karen said...

We have 2 chairs like that at the cottage! Love 'em.

Sandy said...

This is something I've never seen before,, guess it's because I don't ski... did you make them?
