How Kebony Weathers :: The Wharf 6 Months Later

Posted On July 17, 2018 By Jocelyn Mahan In In the Field /  2

D.C. based developer duo of PN Hoffman and Madison Marquette teamed up to form Hoffman-Madison Waterfront to create an eclectic mix of uses and public spaces connecting people to the waterfront. Clark Construction Group is constructing the public spaces at The Wharf.

“The Wharf team carefully selected beautiful and durable materials that enhance the built environment,” said Monty Hoffman, founder and CEO of PN Hoffman. “This unique development is transforming D.C.’s Southwest Waterfront.”

Kebony is impregnated with furfuryl alcohol, which improves the durability and performance of the wood. When burnt, the wood has a dense, outer char layer that provides extra protection against rot and decay. reSAWN’s Kebony designs can be used for exterior applications and interior applications.

The process permanently modifies the wood cell walls giving Kebony premium hardwood characteristics and a rich brown color. After exposure to sun and rain the wood develops a natural silver-gray patina. Performance is maintained, while beauty is enhanced. Kebony is available in clear and character grade.
