Beautiful real road wear blonde bench

Post by henkstroem »

A wooden old bench at the Helsinki museum of natural history, next to the coat room. Great wear.

Is it weird to think about guitars and relic jobs sitting on random benches? 😬

Originally I meant real road wear as a touch of self irony, as a childish fan of worn paint, but there was a photo of the museum moving in the last 20s with the stuff on trucks. Stuff being stuffed giraffes, benches and such. Maybe it is REAL. 🦒

That bench is scumble glazed. Like a 69 Fender Jaguar ~(bravo)
