SL113 Slimline Twist Pen

Slimline Twist Pen in Black Palm Wood.
 
Black palm is just one of hundreds of species of palms in the world and, although it is often referred to as a hardwood, technically it is not. Like bamboo, it is a grass. Black palm is also called black palm wood and grows primarily in South America and Southeast Asia. It is available in veneer form and solids in 4/4, 6/4 and 8/4 thicknesses. However, a typical black palm will only yield a small amount of wood. The tree's center is very soft and mushy, similar to a pumpkin.
