Have done a few hardwood Tiki's (walnut, mahogony) small in size, Moai type. Would like to give a 2-3 footer a shot. Where should I go for the wood? Have lots of Palms here, they good, yes? I'm guessing from my days of Mountain Biking around here that I could pull some fallen Palm logs out of the local parks without any fuss. What should I look for? Bugs and dryness right? Apreciate any tips or anyone want to join me gathering wood around here-Ft Lauderdale.
