I've got a bunch of old paddles from which t I'd like to make something useful, or at least interesting. I don't want to refinish them if I can get by without doing it. Any suggestions?

Photo frames?
Either cut an oval out of the paddle blade or use four paddle shafts # with grips intact

I can see that - maybe two hole saw cuts and two arced jig saw cuts. Router a ledge on the back for the glass, picture. I could hang paddle whole with the photo in the blade. That's a great idea.

You could consider using them as the back slats to an Adirondack-like chair.
Until next time...be well.

A paddle handle for a shifter knob in my car would be the cat's meow. No you got me thinking.

I'm collecting old Feather Brand paddles for a wind chime.
Hey sweeper, did you flatten the front of the shaft? All my oldies have round shafts.
I stoled the pic off the Internets
