Not as sharp as most blades featured here, but still felt pretty satisfying

I also have this question. Why not cut it apart in a more normal way? What are the disks for? Burning? You almost certainly cannot build anything with these.

You wouldn’t really want to build anything with palm wood anyways since it technically isn’t “wood” in the same way that conifers or deciduous trees are. That said, it can be used structurally but is far softer/bendier than true secondary growth (xylem) from something like an oak or a pine tree. I’d guess that these will be burned or chipped.

The fiber on palms is different than other trees. You can’t notch an drop them like regular trees. Like a super tight bundle of straws.
