- Description
- Home made skis made by William Parker. The original leather bindings are mostly gone, only one broken, dark coloured leather strap remains.
- Object History
- The skis were found in the Jesse Love farmhouse when moved to the Museum. The skis were hand made by Bill Parker, grandson of Jesse Love and son of Sarah Parker (Love) and William Parker. He made them while living in the Love farmhouse as a young man. He often did woodworking in the kitchen, after the bath tub was moved upstairs and before the kitchen was remodeled. When he was older his woodwork projects were done in the wood working shed outside. The skis were originally flat, but he found they did not work well. After observing people on store bought skis, he tried to steam the wood and weigh down the ends to get the tips of the skis to curve. He use the skis to around the yard and down the hill of Cumberland St. Bill later used the skis as a young adult while courting his wife. The skis were stored in the house and forgotten.
- A pair of skis in one corner of the farmhouse kitchen are visible in photographs of the kitchen taken in the early 1970.
