In the fall of 2007, studio head George Kurjanowicz was commissioned to add to a previously executed grouping of abstract Danby White marble carvings.
These pieces were part of the Battery St. walkway reconstruction project in downtown Burlington, Vermont.
1. Designed as benches, one sixth scale models of the sculptures were made to illustrate the relative proportions of both pieces to each other.

3. Both pieces were contour sawn from patterns made from the models. Here the smaller piece awaits transport from the saw plant. |
| 4. Four feet wide by three feet high, now titled "Throne", the two and a half foot thick larger bench sits in the studio upon completion. |

5. Titled "Saddle," the smaller piece measures just over three feet wide, being two feet high and twenty inches thick. |
| 6. Completed in June of 2008, both pieces pose with their author in downtown Burlington, Vermont. |
