I haven't had too big a problem down here with mold. But I haven't carved palm either - if that's what you have.

I currently have a big pine log that has some mold on it. I plan to just scrape it off and I expect it to dry out with no problems once I start carving it.

Another time I locked some pecan in the back of my truck bed, which has a hardtop cover on it. After a month of carrying it around back there it had mold and fungus and dry rot! :(

I sprayed it with Jomax and let it dry, then started carving. Some of the mold came back but I eventually carved it all out and it dried just fine.
