One Skid = One Table

Cool table, great reapplication of wasted material. Nice finish too what did you use?

I saw a pallet in use at work the other day with 1 board that had “bees wing” grain pattern on it. Went looking for it later and could not find it.

I am a big fan of making gems from rocks…. looks great

-- making sawdust....

Nicely done. This is precisely why I first thought to get a planer—to reclaim pallet wood.

A beautiful creation made from pallet lumber.

A lot of nice wood ends up in the landfills, which is a shame.

I cringe when I see dumpsters full of good lumber in front of building, & remodeling jobs.

I like these kinds of projects, nice work!

A beautiful piece of work. get wood where you can, and make treasures.

That is fantastic considering the source!

great job, hard to believe that beautiful table came from a skid.

I used to look at a pallet and see trash, and that’s where it went. Now that I’m a member here I’ve seen several “pallet projects” and am starting to see things in a different perspective. I may just have to break one apart myself and see what I come up with. Nice job

Years ago I read an article about recycling pallet wood. The main points I took away from it was that you can get good pallets and crates from your local motorcycle shop. Most times they are glad to get rid of them. Since a lot of motorcycles are imported the materials can get pretty exotic. Of course the main drawback is the nail holes.

I have saved wood from a lot of palllets in my time and made beautiful projects from it . Your table looks great !!

-- When did quiet and quite become the same word ? I'm guessing about the same time as your and you're did.

I used to do this myself years ago, you did a great job.
