Palm Carving - Tiki Carving

I am a total novice, wanting to give this a try with my brother and my son, so we are putting together some of the goods. I have some sections of palms--I am pretty sure they are Mexican Fan Palms (two 3' and three 5'). I am in the process of cleaning the bark off of them. How long do you need to let them dry out? They are recently cut (about 2 weeks). A once the bark is removed. Also, the bark seems like an onion--always another layer to strip off. . . .. Is this typical?
