Aloha All!

Florida Ohana... good to hear the reports of safety from you all after the rage of the tropics and I hope that any in the path of Ivan come out safe and sound... hopefully he will stay away from Florida or weaken to the point where damage is minimal.

Anyway... in a short time I will make my way down to Hukilau in a van full of tikis to spread far and wide across the land. With the recent storms bringing down trees I was hoping to secure a few chunks of palm to maybe try my hand at carving the tropical wood when I get home. I was wondering if any East Coast Florida Ohana might have some of those lying about? I hope none of your trees came down but if they did I might lighten your burden of removing them. If not how might I obtain one?
Any help would be greatly appreciated and it will help me broaden my horizons as a carver. I would be seeking a size of between 3-4 foot... maybe 8-10 inch in diameter...

I so look forward to meeting you all in Fort Lauderdale! Mahalo!
