No staining this weekend, but did start on a new carve only to find...

The center is wet, spongy and shreds easier then it cuts. This is my first time working with palm. Is this common? Do I just let it dry more or do I discard the wood and look for more? I'm impatient and have started to carve trying to keep what I want to the outside of this palm's soft and chewy center.
Thanks in advance for any and all feedback.
