Aloha schase1399 and Welcome to Tiki Central. I'm not a carver by any means but I do know a few things from reading the posts here.

First off, DON'T throw out those palm trunks! If they are freshly cut, then they are probably still full of water (even if they were dead). You won't be able to carve them for about 6 months. Let them dry out and give them a try then.

This is the main Carving Post here on TC. It's got lots of info:

For tools, here's a good post:

Good luck and have fun.
Post some pics when your tiki is done.

Hey - I'm a poet and didn't know it!
