Even though I had planned to hang my Wooden Oars that I found at a local antique store on a wall, I'm happy Where They Are Now, leaning in a corner..., but there are some stylish and interesting ways to use oars as decor or give them a new function...
Hanging an Oar: This is how Chris @ Just Beachy did it.
Ooh is there something wrong with your blog or is it my computer? Your header and this post was halfway down the page, the top part was blank. I like the way you have left your oars, it has a casual, unstudied air to it that looks great.
Seems like your blog is ok. It looked ok when I came over. Anyway, love the oars. I have snow shoes above my bed from my B that he had from his childhood home in alaska. I also have used my lacrosse sticks for decoration. They are not exactly nautical but for some reason they still look kinda beachy to me. Maybe it is the wood.
Not just because I like you (smile :-)...but I really love your oars just leaning in the corner. Yours looks great! I also like the railing a whole lot. Perfectly coastal!
There are so many different ways to hang oars. I figure the easiest would be to use curtain rod brackets if you hang them horizontal. Or I'd go to the local hardware store and see what I could use. My oars are leaning in the corner, so I can't recommend any specific hardware. I hope this helps a little -thanks for your visit!

Oh my. I think you've just given me a great idea: using one of our wooden oars as a railing!

The oar as a rail is a neat idea! I just saw an oar in an antique store yesterday and I may just have to go back to get it now. Thanks for the idea!
Please recommend the best mounting harware or hooks to hang these oars. I have beach home with wood panels. Thanks
Best mounting hardware for oars?
