Flower stand

prepare all the flowers you want to use
I put everything together and then sorted it out
before that I created a long rectangle to estimate the size that everything should have in total

arrange the flowers around the rectangle - the lower part is then the end that runs into the base

mark the flowers and create an outline
here I use 1mm for the outline

then I think about which flower takes which position
so which one should be in front of the other flower
mark the outline of the front flower and mark the flower that should be behind it
then select unit
XCS then subtracts the outline of the rear flower to create the effect as if it were hidden

then i mark all the flowers and group them together
so that nothing can slip
then choose outline and here I take 3.5
so that everything in the middle can merge together
as you can see on the one photo not everything
we solve this by simply selecting the new outline and making an edit node
here you mark and delete all points that belong away

then finally make a circle
mine is 50mm 
the hole goes in the middle
this is as wide as the handle is wide
and the height of the hole is the thickness of your wood 
in this case 3mm
and now new with Xtool is the Kerf function
with this you can easily select an object and set the kerf
