Of course, he spent the first 30+ years of his life outside in the elements in front of the Kona Kai near O'Hare. I think he's carved from ponderosa pine, I don't think that palm would hold up as well over the years since it is more porous. I'm certainly no expert, but we have another 8 footer from the Kona Kai that is carved from what appears to be palm and he shows his age much more.
