My suggestion would be to sell as-is if it is not completely dry. you may want to ask the customer where the carving will reside; inside or out. if they want to polycoat it, that will be their decision, but i would recommend explaining the situation to them to avoid any complaints down the road. some people like their tikis unfinished and want them to weather and age.

I'm not really sure on the length of time it takes for a palm log to dry out completely. alot depends on how wet it is in the first place, type of palm, the humidity levels where it is stored, etc. maybe someone else could weigh in on that topic.
