After 30 years without rehabilitation, the cherry portion of the Spoonbridge and Cherry Sculpture at the Walker Art Center had to be recoated. The cherry had to be removed from the sculpture and transported to a shop for reconditioning.

It was then coated with two coats of marine urethane followed by two coats of clear coat.
