I was amazed. I used the hook, chisels, Rotary flex shaft and smaller motors too. Then used the burning knife for some highlihts and then a small torch for fill in! Thanks Conga, I suppose I could go a Little bit smaller. :o :P Thanks Aloha, it was one of those things I just Had to do, actually this frond is much harder than the palm trunk itself. don't know if the same is true with other palms but I will try to find out. I can imagine carving a coconut frond,, MUCH Larger too!
