Local council has a free green waste kirb side collection here in Brisbane & there are a lot of residents cutting down palms.

I scored some Alexanda & Cocos palm logs, freshly cut 2 days ago.

Already there are splits occurring in the centre of each piece I snavelled.
What's the g - o ?

Is it still possible to carve this stuff or will it fall appart?

I was intending on going for another scavenge tomorrow keeping clear of these 2 species.

Whaddayareckon?
