Legend has it that they started out as Florida Palms and were shipped up our way quite a few years ago. As you can hopefully tell from the picture they have a fair bit of surface wear/patina. (Yeah, I have been pulling splinters out of my hands since we picked them up) Im pretty sure they have never been treated in any way. It would be great to keep them with us for as long as possible. We do plan on using them outside and will pull them in for the winters. What is your recommendations for older Palm carvings? Spray, coat, treat, or just let age gracefully?
