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

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.

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 !!

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

Another piece of saved firewood. Great result.

I have tried to use wood from pallets but have been unable to get all the wire staples out. Also the wood splits real easy when I try to get the boards apart. Looks good maybe I need to try again.

Nice recylce. The table looks good. I too have to work more with pallets. I did use some old ones at work to build a new cabinet for our shop tools. It came out prety good, but would like to work more with them. Like the idea of motorcycle shops, hmm… maybe our local tractor dealer would be intersted in getting rid of a few to.
