Looks good Lake, nice job.

Stick to the Pine. Too many negatives with palm from what I've learned, and I've learned the hard way. Palm is not all it's cracked up to be in "my own humble opinion". It molds, is stringy as you say, it rots, is extra heavy until it dries, is very splintery, attempting detail work sucks with it and it is hard as hell to de-bark.

Hell, I just spent $938.00 getting (11) 5' clean peeled white pine logs freighted to me and there is free palm all around me here. That should tell you my feelings on palm right there. Wish I had a local supply of pine as you guys, just as you wish you had the palm....go figure.

The big sucker rocks!

Rip, Tear and Lacerate.......
