One is an actual dead coconut palm that a client wanted "aloha" carved in it. My first experience with a stump. The carving was a little tough since the tree had alot of moisture in it. I had to clean out my saw constantly. I coated it with urethane and put a ton on the top so water wouldn't penetrate and rot it out quick. I told the client I had no idea how long it would last. They didn't seem to mind. Anyways it was a cool experience. Later [ Edited by: tatumantiki 2010-08-08 18:43 ]
