[BCMA] Preserving Cedar Boughs?

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

They are a fire hazard. We used them for Christmas decorations at various historic sites I worked at. After a month they were dry as tinder and shedding. At BVM went with synthetic as I recall. Design crew now deceased I believe so no lead on replicas unless current design crew have files etc. can also try Internet search.

Preservation or synthetic? Try RBCM people who worked with Jean Andre. They created artificial forest when Jean was Chief Designer.
