I recently had a piece of Coconut that I let dry. After several months being stored in my wood shed, I tried getting it ready to carve. When I peeled the bark off I found the wood stringy and spongy. The other half of the tree immediately turned into a wad of string right after cutting it. Apparently the difficult part is finding a coconut stump that has cured naturally. Good luck.
