Samurai mystique, writ in wood: Among the wood-grained looks now available in high-pressure laminate is Kendo, a pattern inspired by Japanese swords made from bamboo. Other new exotics include Bubinga, a prized African rosewood, and Mojo Maple, with a magical (and very graphic) swirling maple grain. 8339 Telegraph Road, Odenton, MD 21113; 800-638-4380; nevamar.com.
