The curvy one was live oak from a limb off the one in the treehouse photo. The two bar stools are oak also, probably live oak. I am in Jacksonville, FL,
and live oak is common here. Destroys tools though. The tall one is some type of palm, probably cabbage, also common around here.
I usually start with a chainsaw and work my way down to an angle grinder, hand tools if I have to.
I bought a power chisel, saves effort but not really time.

I am working on trying to get a supply of wood. Any suggestions?
I want to carve mostly palms for tikis as it is so much easier.
But I need to get some hardwood for a guy who wants to commission some barstools.
I really want to do some of this as a part-time business. It's much more fun than real work.

I thank all of you for welcoming me.
