how long do you dry the wood for to prevent the flowers from cracking ?

[cesking]

Dear@Jeremyfox43921 , They will not crack, you can turn them from green wood or dry, you just get longer or shorter petals,

Dear Susan, Thank you very much for your loverly words, it makes it all woth while, I try to have fun with every thing that I do whether it is woodturning, digging up 2000 year old Roman pots in my local forest or making videos of the things that matter to me, It's been a few years now since I was in your part of the world doing some woodturning demos and lectures, take care,

Hello Stuart; I wish to say once again that your flowers inspired me and your DVD is a keepsake DVD in my arsenol of woodturning DVD's. Everyone who is thinking about learning this should have your DVD! Something so small and simply can be so rewarding and inspirational. They make such lovely gifts because people are amazed with them and how they were made.

I wish you great health, happiness and prosperity always,

Susan S. in Maryland USA :-)
