This boat oar I purchased at my local antique store. I didn't do a thing to it, but hang it on the wall in my bathroom. I thought it was cool. It looks really weathered. The mirror I got there too. It was gold & I got it for like $6, painted it white & sanded it down a little so the gold showed through just a bit & hung it in my bathroom to replace the old ugly one that was up there. I still need to work on the light fixtures!

Does anyone have a good idea as to how to hang these????

What type of hooks or nails to use. These are 5-6 foot long oars.

Thank you!!!!! Posted: 11:49 am on September 3rd
