Hi, I'm a super newbie from the Orlando, FL area. I keep seeing Tikis and love them! So I really want to get started on one. My husband found some palms at the landfill for me and I'd love to start one. I've read a bunch on the main post here. I think I need to let them dry for several months before I can start - is that right? Can I get off the bark now or should I wait. And should I seal the ends of them now? I'm looking for my first set of carving tools, so any ideas would be great! Thanks a bunch!
