One vintage 1979 Honeycomb water ski, two cribbage boards.
I turned this classic ski into two playable cribbage boards. The holes for the flat tail section were cut precisely with my Onefinity CNC. The curved section? That one was done the old-fashioned way on the drill press. Trust me, nobody wants to watch that much less exact and awkward process.
The ski is painted aluminum, which made it perfect for my Thunder Laser to create crisp, flawless scoring tracks by removing just the paint layer. Next up, laser cut custom water ski themed pegs and custom laser cut acrylic storage boxes to hold the pegs and a deck of cards.
These boards are headed out as graduation gifts for two friends who grew up together on the lake and will be roommates in college. Not a bad way to take a little piece of home with them.
And can we take a minute to appreciate the giant 6-7 graphic on this ski? This 1979 ski might be trendier now than it was when it was new.
Stay tuned. Vintage sports gear is about to get a lot more interesting around here. These old skis have opened up all kinds of possibilities.
