Hi, I work for an Architect in Anchorage, AK and we have a project where we are using 2"-3" birch branches/trees for a permanent display in the reception area of a new clinic. These will be cut locally most likely. We want to seal the trees with a water based urethane to protect them but was wondering about whether they needed to to be dried for a certain amount of time or if sealing them after a few days of being cut is OK?
Thanks
