Title: Ideas for making stuff with old decks?
Post by: MysticalTypeExperience on November 27, 2021, 06:03:46 PM: Curious what people have made with old soggy decks. Some stuff I've seen or though of:

Frankenboards
Luge boards
Wall art
Snow skate with plastic rails, rubber grip and epoxy coating
Coffee table?
Charcuterie board sanded and stained with mineral oil?
Old trucks as cabinet handles?

What else you got

But what do you do with old trucks? Coat hangers?

I used two old trucks as coat hangers in the garage for dirty/wet coats - they work great!

Also, I made a bench yesterday out of an old board. It looks very nice but isn't too practical, so it's just a nice piece of furniture to have or for additional guests to sit on.. or maybe as a bench to sit down while putting on shoes?

I have a hard time justifying spending over $100 on a little piece of plastic from Thule. I think one made of old decks would look kinda cool.

Full boards that’s easy. Cut sideways to show grain that’s like 4+ boards cut at 3/4” wide so still really doable. After a year or so of skating you should have plenty of wood to make it
