Palm is nice if it cured, and it also depends on the type of palm.

I have tried Ash, nice to carve hard as hell, and can be a pain to sand.

I actually like Poplar alot, you can carve any direction you want, sands easy, holds detail very well, soft, and very forgiving. of course the only real poplar i have seen is in board form or in a dowl/closet rod size. do'nt know how a actual poplar log would be to carve.
