I am a newbie here, I am in the Arcadia-Pasadena area of Southern Cal, and I am hoping to start on a few Tiki projects soon, but was curious to find others in the area, possibly with a few Tikis already under their belts for local consults of sorts. I have what I believe to be a good supply of power and hand tools available, have done many small scale carvings from mini Totem poles (12" up to 4') with various types of wood at my disposal, and other types of projects involving wood. But I would really like to find a local source of Sabal palm log, or other native Island palm for the tropical look I'm working on for my yard. I never seem to be able to find a tree cutter that has any palm cuttings, and I'm searching for a few in the 5' to 8' range. Anyone have any ideas for a local source, or if not local, someone reasonably close? Thanks.
