Rrrramps!!!

I've considered starting a side-project/business: Making ramps out of ceramic (or the traditional wood type),and putting them up for $ale. I've never seen a ramp made from ceramic. The finish options are ENDLESS! Marbleized,wood-grain,solid colors,etc....
Yes,I know ceramic isn't a common material to make a ramp from. It would be different,for sure. That's the whole idea,though.

Opinions?? Do you people think there would be a market for someone producing ramps (wood or ceramic)??
 
Ceramic, as in pottery? Being from the "Pottery capital of the world," I would buy one! :D Just to have one! :D

I wonder how they would hold up compared to straight wood. They be heavy, and easily breakable.

Now I'm not referring to a material like the old reddish clay pots that archaeologists find in Egypt. I'm referring to a ceramic,VERY similar to what a toilet or urinal is made from:eek::eek:.......I know,I know.:rollno::rollno: Bad example! But,that's all I could come up with,off the top of my head for an example.
VERY durable materials,IMO. And the finish options?? You'd be very surprised. Endless finish options.
 
I know what ceramic is. ;) My dad is the computer tech for one of the biggest potteries in the world, and my hometown produced the most pottery in the world up until lately.

I know what youre saying. ;)
