I have no Idea. I had them cut it between 6 & 7 ft. Is it worth preserving for stump carving? Should I seal the top with anchor seal etc? Or just get rid of it?
 
Dale,
I couldn't find any reference to the use of King palm wood for any purpose, so if Google can't find it you have to assume it is just too fibrous to be of value. From what I could tell, it's not even good to burn. You might be able to stabilize small pieces for pen blanks?
 
Dale, do you mind putting your location in your profile? Won't help me answer this specific question, but in the future, it may come in handy for someone. If it is like black palm, it is stringy but can be turned but I use thin CA for finish on it for a reason.
