Sign + Cork Countertop
The work Robotodd Industries did for Sticky Ypsi, an Ypsilanti, MI marijuana dispensary, was two parts – outdoor signage and a cork tile top for the “bud-tending” counter.
The “Stick” part of the sign is made a type of steel known as Corten (A505). Corten is special because, unlike normal steel, it is meant to rust. The surface of the metal will maintain a nice golden brown while resisting further corrosion. The rest of the sign is made of CNC cut acrylic with vinyl backing.
The “bud-tending” countertop was our first time working with cork in any way. However, the result was a one-of-a-kind top that becomes the focal point of the room. The countertop is trimmed with a custom made six inch red oak trim with a dark walnut brown stain.
*Robotodd Ind. was responsible for the countertop only. The remaining wood work was done by another contractor.
