Each flute is sealed by using a torch to seal from cracking then sealed as my other flutes are using several coats of shellac. They are a very light to hold and very interesting to look at .Sunflower flute are primitive looking and I try to keep them as natural as possible. Every sunflower flute has a tone and voice of their own .I feel that sunflowers are happy, bright and full of life this is same in every flute.
