If you're in FL, then that's probably palm? If so, those 'nail holes' you mention in the first post are most likely scars from tree climber's spikes. We get that in our palm out here in CA.

I'm afraid there's no cure other than to keep carving! If you are looking for wood - expand from Palm - in the Orlando area you have: Live Oak, Pecan, Camphor as well as Cedar. Lots of options. Keep the tikis comin!
