What is the best way to dry or cure freshly cut sabal palms. I am limited on garage space, but since I live in central Florida the Weather sould be warm and sunny enough outside. I cover them to keep the rain off, but also let the breath.

Thanks in Advance

You don't need to cure the Cabbage palm. Carve it fresh and let it cure on its own later with no ill effects.
