Atlanta's BeltLine Benches
Hi Ken,
The oak looks ebonized - did you guys use the acetic acid technique? I have always wondered if ebonizing would actually help prevent UV degradation because the tannins have already reacted and would theoretically be less susceptible to bleaching. I love the look of the blackened oak next to the brass and imagine it will only become more interesting with time.
Hi Robert,
Very cool. I've never tried zinc oxide with tannins, gonna have to experiment around with that now! I thought the blueish tint was just some color distortion in the photos, now I _definitely_ have to see these in person. Thanks for the reply!
I actually love that the bench bottom reminds me of Donald Judd's work....very nice!
Love love the seat on this bench but the base seems overengineerered and distracts from the beauty 😕
This bench is my spirit animal. I'd like to shake hands with its maker. I bet he has a full head of hair and a strong brow.
