They will go PERFECT in my new shop.




Score!
Kind of dark but for price, throwing some nice non light sucking paint on them will help keep the shop nice and bright!

I’ve been collecting old parts for a while now. When I have some free time I’m going to start painting nose art.

Left curbside in my Mom's neighborhood today. I was heading over there to drop off provisions for her.

Will make some kind of decoration with it.

Nice and clean - no wax on it to mess up my new bedliner...

F-15 belly tanks. $500 in town. Hard to resist. But what do I do with them?

Bargain. You don't need to do anything with them.

Imagine the mileage you will get. Beer in one hand explaining they are off a F-15...

Not quite as impressive, but I've got my eye on four big sheets of aluminium to add to the junk pile on the front lawn. I'll know in a week if I win the auction.

Scored a free kayak and all the accessories...the owner just wasn’t using it anymore. Nice fiberglass boat and wooden paddle.

I would cross cut a little below the bottom of the logo and make an outdoor chair out of it . If the dimensions are right that would make a cool chair back .

That's a pretty cool logo and slogan on that board Baz.
On Kauai there are board noses used as house number signs at the roadside all over the place.

Cheers Richard

Very creative idea, Rick. Thanks. It would be too uncomfortable for me though. I have sling chairs and they are the shizzle!

Aloha Rick.....

Yeah I bet there's no shortage of pieces/sections of boards from so many being snapped by the powerful waves!

Good idea to use for house numbers.

Not sure what I will do but will give her a final resting spot of honour, dignity, and respect, wherever it ends up!

Picked this Burton up years ago, from my ex-girlfriends [now wife], apartment. Someone set it next to the dumpster. Not an original Backhill, but cool.

Very cool score, especially the very small shark bite out of it

Baz think outdoor Adirondack chairs , find one on the curb and replace the back with the board . I am telling you it will be a hit 😀

No doubt it would be a novelty. FWIW, I actually do have an Adirondack "water ski" chair for such a purpose and only have so much space here. The sling chairs I have are much more comfortable too, as I said.
