Hi
Before I did any real research on Palm wood, I purchased three sets of Black Palm Scales from Jantz to build some BBQ knives for my best friend. I noted that palm is prone to cracking, especially while you're working it. They were a whole $7.95 a piece, and the most expensive blade was $13.95 so I'm not out much over $70 if this is a complete bust. Anyway, if my friend drops these on the concrete will they crack, split, or just possibly dent a bit like Walnut would?
I COMMONLY use walnut, maple, and mesquite so this is a bit new. I wouldn't have bought them, but he has two or three of those metal palm trees by the pool like you see at Hooters. I felt he sort of needed some REAL palm...
Thanks
