STRENGTH bench in the oak (Quercus) collection at The Morton Arboretum

Throughout history oaks have been associated with strength, power, endurance, and permanence; much of this is due to the physical properties of the oak's wood, its large size, and its longevity. The STRENGTH bench, located in the oak (Quercus) collection at The Morton Arboretum, is composed of large corten steel dimensional letters capped off by a simple wood plank top.
