Comments: The "palmwood" is that of different species of palm trees. All these woods have in common to have the structure of a cable which makes the trunk flexible and almost unbreakable. Everyone has seen images of tropical storms where large palm trees are bent and shaken to the extreme but never break. This structure appears well in cross-section (end wood) obviously fragile.
