There are a number of types of palms in Baja. I don't know if they only use one type or not...I've watched them thatch, they do wet the fonds down before starting buy sprinkling water on the pile of fonds...The pattern really looks neat from the under side..I have some pics, but don't have them scaned.....Oh well....

.......Westy.....

I've seen them make them in Mex too. They weave the palms..and wire them and in Cancun with the wind they usually net them too.

Here they are just layed down over the wooden frame with some wire underneath. I don't think they last as long here. Not as good workmanship.. ;)
