Thanks Carerra--We're thinking of reviving it in a signage concept, but not sure if it will work on such a small scale (as a single column) contrasted against s light sand finish or board form on the other faces. I imagine that concrete has weathered quite a bit, exposing more of the aggregate, whereas newer construction would be a little more uniform ??
^ Don't think so, I have seen it new and the aggregate exposure doesn’t change, if anything it fades away over time with dirt which can be a problem with this approach. Saw a great example with warm colored concrete. A sign would be a great candidate for the old fashion hand hammering…..get an intern to do it, preferably on a hot day (just kidding).
