Palmwood comes from plantation grown coconut palms, which are in abundance throughout much of the world. Palms produce nuts for up to 80 years, then non-producing palms are removed and replaced. Coconut palmwood can vary greatly in color and density. We use only the hard, dark palm for our look and durable surface. Durapalm palmwood flooring and palmwood plywood are made from multiple layers of palm, creating both stable and durable flooring and plywood products of great beauty.
Durapalm's newest product is their high-relief Palm Woven, which are pre-finished woven panels that snap together for a special wall finish.Via: Treehugger

Wow, I'm excited to see this stuff here. I absolutely love it, it looks even better up close - full of flecks of browns, pinks, and black, and smooth to the touch, deep to the eye texture. I've planning to use a few sheets of the plywood for a sliding wall that will divide an L-shaped room into a library and bedroom ...I can't wait until this renovation is up to that stage. This company also makes Plyboo, which is gorgeous too, especially the zebra striped one. FYI, you can get it in Williamsburg at Bettencourt Green Building Supplies.

I really like the look of the palm, the grain and colors are great.

I like the textured look; the woven panels would make a nice accent wall.

I like the sustainability aspect of this very much.
This wall is kind of Tiki-ish.

I am a huge fan of applying a woven motif on the wall. Naturally, I like this one.

I think the woven panels would look great on an accent wall in my living room. However, I'm not sure how I feel about no longer being able to hang art on the wall with these panels in place.
