As of yet I have considered bronze, polished stainless steel, a sanded swirl pattern on stainless steel, painted steel or stainless, and rusting steel/corten. I've been reading about electropolished stainless, but don't know much about it. I really like the look of blackened and distressed steel, can you do this to stainless steel? Do any of you all have any other suggestions or comments about the above possibilities? Is aluminum an option? It seems kind of soft and would scratch easily?</p> <br class="clear-both" /><!-- google_ad_section_end --> <p><a href="http://www.artmetal.com/blog/eligius1427/2008/01/outdoor_sculpture_materials">read more</a></p> http://www.artmetal.com/blog/eligius1427/2008/01/outdoor_sculpture_materials#comment large scale sculpture weathering Thu, 31 Jan 2008 23:20:37 -0600 eligius1427 4961 at http://www.artmetal.com
