Carving wet palm is like carving a sponge. I have carved wet palm before and it's not fun. If you are not doing any small details, then carve away, but you will have to wait for it to dry before staining and sealing. Best to put it aside and let it dry. If you seal the wood before it dries it tends to rot for the inside out.
