You should not have to seal the palm trunks at all and depending on what kind of palms they are, you can just jump right in and start carving.If it is a Queen or Royal Palm, you will want to remove the stringy center. Those palms have a bark that is very smoothe, looking almost like cement. Go thru the "Carving Post" at the top of the "Creating Tiki" forum and you will find more instructions than you will be able to follow in one year. Happy carving and don't forget to post pictures when you start carving.
