Space Frame Cane (prior to anodizing)
July 8, 2013
The cane is nearly complete. I put a mirror polish on the 7075 aluminum. I wanted to enjoy the chromed look for a few days before it dulled a little to anodizing. And, I also wanted the surface to be as smooth and even as possible before it went into that process. It’s not possible to keep a mirror polish on it. But, with a light anodizing layer, it will still be reflective and shiny, and still preserved from 7075’s propensity for pitting. The attached pictures show the un-anodized luster of the polished aluminum. It’s really very pretty! This design is working out very well!
