I saw some furniture built out of palm trees(or claimed to be), very interesting grain.

Has anyone had any experience working with this timber?

I haven't seen it anywhere else (timber yards etc).

Thanks,
Lance

I've turned some pens with Date palm wood and was taken by the grain configuration and colouring.

There's a crowd in Sydney called `Ecowood' (or something like that)(palmwood?) who sell furniture made out of palm wood. It seems very hard once dry and I would guess that it would machine pretty well. The palm wood that I've seen is very colourful; sort of dark brown with very light streaks in it.
