Regarding palm wood...

Despite our mild Winter thus far (I mean...it's just about tee shirt weather down at the beach today), these guys were pretty much shot by late Nov. And here is one now. I've posted pics of this yard before, and mentioned in a thread that I spoke to the owner quite by accident this past Summer and told him about Windmills. Young guy who just seemed content to plant cocos every year and let them die off. Hey, it's obviously well within his means. But what I'm getting at is...just how sound would the wood from the trunk of this tree be for carpentry purposes?

I take the driftwood I find and use it out at my tiki bar and backyard, and was hoping to rescue this trunk or its neighbor before they are removed. Not gonna just go down there some night with a chainsaw. I'd try to contact the owner first. My plan would be to use it as the base for a small table. Believe me, there is a nice sized trunk under all those toasted fronds...
