    Do you want to darken it? Or do you wish to lighten other pieces like it? Wood stains can darken it and I've had luck bleaching palm and other woody materials in the bathtub with laundry bleach and water and then laying them in the sun for a few days.

    I had a neighbor across the street from us that used furniture polish to make her house plants look fantastic, if that is what you were asking. She also used it in the shower walls and bathroom walls to keep them from attracting minerals and soap scum.

    Palm or coconut fronds as they are called achieve that pale white wash color by laying them out in the sun to dry

      It's a palm frond and, you can sand it as you would a piece of wood...simple, I do it all the time for different projects.
