WATER SKI ROCKER
$360.00

Ski Hard, Rest Easy

Wave goodbye to the usual lake house furniture with this one-of-a-kind rocking chair handmade from retired water skis and unfinished Canadian cedar. Perfect for when skiing fanatics finally make it to dry land. Handmade by Mike Bellino in Massachusetts.

The skis are treated with a polyurethane finish. Remaining wood is left untreated. Bellino allows wood to undergo a natural finishing process called "checking," which creates naturally-occuring cracks that do not compromise the integrity of the wood. Cover if left outside. Unfinished cedar will patina and weather if left out in the elements, which is the artist's intention. If you prefer to keep the chair as is, treat it with a polyurethane finish or wood stain.

Skis will be slightly weathered due to use. 300 lb capacity. Some assembly required. Due to the handmade and recycled nature of this item, each is one-of-a-kind and will vary slightly.

Michael Bellino

Michael Bellino started making SkiChairs back in 1993 after purchasing a house on a lake and building an enormous dock that needed furniture.

Looking for an alternative to plastic patio furniture, he found inspiration in O'Neils Bike and Ski Shop, which he managed. Two weeks and two prototypes later, he created the first SkiChair with his old racing and bump skis. Michael says he's still sitting in that original chair today! See all creations.
