Handmade wooden toboggan (more decorative than functional!) (Top Amersham HP6)

This was made by my late father-in-law about 60 years ago. Its sentimental value has been overtaken by the fact that, sadly, it never really got used because it didn't really work (hence its good condition for its age) so it's just been stored in the garage for years. While I can't recommend it for actual tobogganing (it just sinks into the snow and stays there!) it might make an amusing shabby-chic ornament in the right setting (on the wall of a sports-themed pub or club?), or it could be repurposed as a pair of statementy wall shelves, or as a stand (inside or out) for a couple of plant pots, or dismantled and used as reclaimed wood for something else? It seems a shame to just use it as firewood. It measures 76x37x11cm approx. There's some evidence of woodworm which you might want to treat, but I'm pretty sure this predates the several decades that we've been keeping it and there's no sign of activity now, so it was probably treated at some earlier point. Collect from top Amersham.
