frogger, you can carve palms fresh cut, they may mold a bit as they dry, just spray with bleach water, also queen palms suck for carving, i use sable, coconut, washintonias mostly, to preserve mix 50/50 min spirits with polyurathane and do first coat to soak in good, after several coats of straight poly and thats good. hope the info helps, i carve mostly with a chainsaw, and have a tree service so i get plenty of materials lol
