That is rather unusual, not common. Normally coconut trunk were used for other purposes like musical instruments (rebana drum), part of the house, household items, decorations and etc.. but never for wrangka (or should I say, I've never seen it before). This 'pokka dot pattern' is obtained from the trunk near base area just above the root. This part is were the wood is the strongest.
