Protect your purchase with The Real Paint Company’s Outdoor Defense, a wood oil that acts like lotion on your skin. It will bring out the beautiful rich shades of the Cedar, and provide an added layer of protection from the elements*.
For every build, skis are given a thorough cleaning and refresh to revitalize the top sheet without losing their vintage character.
The Best part? You get to choose the Michigan Ski Patrol that will fully benefit from your purchase.
Ski requirements: Three pairs of skis must be in good project condition - no delamitation, or separation of layers, and at least 165cm/65” in length). MI Ski Bum reserves the right to decline skis based on usability.
Please allow 2 weeks for production.
The best way to start? A conversation. Drop us a note, and let’s build you a chair!
The Fine Print:
Skis are made from a variety of materials which will depend on the ability to cut, drill through, etc. We always do our best to produce the best quality product, but in the rare occasion we run into a problem with one of your skis, we may need to substitute with one from our inventory.
Cedar wood is naturally water and rot resistant, but will weather, gray, and age as the chair ages outdoors.
Each chair is handmade and therefore unique in every way. Variations will occur even within similar styles.
*Note: It is recommended to repeat the Outdoor Defense application on an annual basis to continue to protect your investment.
Skis will need to be dropped off or shipped to MI Ski Bum, Rockford MI.
