When you're Ron Swanson and you want to show affection for your workplace proximity associates, you fashion canoe paddles. Obviously.
That's exactly what Parks & Recreation star -- and noted woodworking enthusiast -- Nick Offerman did with wood he swiped from the set of the now-finished series. Surely you've realized this by now: Offerman actually is a real-life version of Swanson.
