Old Oars

The barn on my family farm had to be torn down recently because it became to unstable.  During its last days it looked like this:

 

 

Before it was too dangerous to go inside, my sister smartly scavenged a pair of old oars for me, which of course I wanted for our tropical-themed deck.

 

Unfortunately, I didn't get a "before" picture, but picture them looking a lot like the barn above.

 

After a coat of blue spray paint and sealer, we wound some rope around the handles and hung them on the sides of the entrance to our deck--a fitting welcome to our own Margaritaville.

 

 

Here's a close up of the left oar, showing just how worn it was on the paddle end:
