Treating BASKING BRANCHES

Posted by xta on February 06, 2000 at 12:14:01:

We cut down a bunch of BIG nice branches when trimming the oak trees out front (some type of oak). They are too big to boil or stick in the oven so what else can I do? I was thinking of coating them with a shalack(sp?) as I did a nice piece of driftwood last year. I was hoping not to have to strip the bark. What are all of your thoughts on this?

  • Joan, I too am a boiling water and bleach freak. Xta, otherwise I would treat is with a product like Nolvasan and let it dry thoroughly. I would, however, forego the shellac. n/m Thumper 02/06/00 (0)
