My guess is that it's not Palm Wood. It doesn't have the distinctive reed structure. Some pieces of wood can have a structure that resembles Palm.

Nice find, and it was a nice short trip to find it!!

Does this picture of the bottom of the sample look like palm wood? Sorry about the poor quality of photo.
