Rowing Scull Seat Restoration

A neighbor on our street was converting an old college racing scull into a 4-man, stand-on-top paddle craft.  He had removed all the seats.  I asked him for one of the seats to see what I could do with it.  The seat was very weathered and in poor condition.  I hand-sanded off all the old varnish and stained it a rich redwood color.  Paul, a very good friend of mine, attended Orange Coast College.  OCC has always been known for its outstanding Crew Team.  I put a plaque on the seat which says, "O.C.C. CREW".  I gave the seat to Paul.  I don't know that the seat was from an O.C.C. scull, but then I don't know that it wasn't. Click on photo for a larger view.
