Yep, this is ONE of the reasons why I quit carving palm logs......Wait till you get one done, think it's all dry, then ship it to someone. Next thing you know they are calling you about this mold all over it. Not good. Palm will mold until the log is pretty much COMPLETELY dry. I have tried everything to try to stop this problem. Bleach is only a temporary fix. My advice is to let the logs dry totally before you carve them or if you are in a hurry move on to another type of wood.
