Prop Disposition After Strike

[Planejim]

Had to replace my prop after strike.  Any suggestions on what to do with the old one that has the tips bent.

Put it in your hangar next to your beer box..Always good for conversation and as a reminder

The flight school where I got my PPL had one hanging on the wall right as you walked in as a subtle reminder...

I left mine, I don’t need that reminder.

If it’s hub and all, someone may want to turn it into a cut away model.

The hub might still have value if it isn't damaged... you might ping someone like @Cody Stallings for a consultation before cutting it up or hanging it on a wall.

The blades can be turned into modern art with a little elbow grease... strip/sand/polish and display it somewhere?  I recently bought a stubby little MT prop blade that was turned into a desk ornament.  The story was that it came from a drone operator (big military one) somewhere after the prop got damaged or was simply replaced.  The blades got cut down to ~16" or 18" and refinished to make a neat little display piece.  Perhaps you could do something similar with your blades too.

Where are you based?  I might pay shipping just to have something to show students :-)
