[BCMA] Preserving Cedar Boughs?

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Thank you Colin. I will look into synthetic. We have a very talented artist in Victoria (Fisherman's Tale Re-Creations) who has done kelp for us in the past. This might be something he can do. 
Thanks to all who posted replies.
Cheers,

  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.

    Hello,

    I am wondering if anyone out there has had any success preserving cedar boughs for long term use in exhibits. If so, any instruction would be kindly appreciated.

    Thank you,
