Thanks Tikitony for your advice, I'll definitely look for some palm, I also went to the http://www.harborfreight.com website and did a little shopping. I’ll soon be all geared up, great place, and the prices are right. So, you do all your carving with a chainsaw and an angle grinder… impressive, I like your stuff a lot, especially the tall ones. Suburbanpagan and Benzart, I find a piece of palm today, and same thing, it was more like a piece of rubber than a piece of wood, It didn’t look rotten, just super soft. Does it get more like wood when it dries? Tikimecula, I’m really interested to know how the telephone pole worked out. Tahitiki [ Edited by: Tahitiki on 2004-06-13 00:33 ]
