I was driving down the road and saw tree trimmers cutting down a Palm tree. Now I have about 8 or 9 really nice sized Palm trunk sections and want to be sure I do the right thing.
How should I store them, should I seal the edges or let them dry before carving? I've never carved Palm, how much do I debark from the outside, it seems kind of moist and stringy when I took out a chunk with a chisel.
Plus if theres any other kind of advice I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks...
