It's all wood, inlaid with about 50 different pieces of wood. Heavy as crap but a beautiful work of art. It's hanging on the wall in my brother's pub.

Made me think of my old Connelly ski. I still have it. It, too, is
"inlaid with about 50 pieces of wood" & is
"a beautiful work of art". And it is also
"heavy as crap"!
I haven't water-skied in almost 20 years, but I used to quite a bit. Someday I will ski again!
Anyone have any idea what my Connelly might be worth? I have thought about selling it.
