A small carving and a Memorial project - Tiki Carving

I like the end result but the dust that comes from working the dry palm is incredible. From what I have read, carving a fresh palm log has its own challenges (mold etc.) I guess timing is critical to get the best results. The only previous work I have done with palm is the restoration of the 8FT himself. Hopefully some day I can luck into a big juicy palm log to do a larger carving. But then I'd like to try that Basswood Conga is always working with too. (I think I may have wood envy.) Well, it's back to the oak, sycamore and walnut for me. Later, 8FT
