Project Information

This console table was made completely from pallet wood. I used pocket hole joinery and my air nailer. Hope you like it. My daughter helped me make it and she wanted to keep it but I sold it within two days. Told her we can always make her another one. I plan to make matching end tables with doors and a matching coffee table as well. I think the person who purchased this won't be able to resist getting the rest of the set to complement.

Just added another picture. The three chalkboard easels sitting on top of the console unit were also made from the pallet scraps.

This is really great. I would like to hear how you cleaned and finished it.

You have to clean those things??? Kidding. I used a pressure washer and soapy water. After it dried, I just sanded it down and then constructed the table. The finish was simple… Minwax stains… Gun stock color for the top, trim and legs…. Jacabo for the insides and back… The doors were finished with clear shellac after applying home made stain which was made from vinegar, steel wool and red die. That's it I believe.

Very nice, just tore my first pallet apart today going to do some searching to see just what I would like to build, leaning towards a end table - side table. We'll see.

Its almost hard to believe that was made from pallets, very nice! I've come across some very nice wood in pallets at work sometimes and it depresses me when I see all the nail holes in it but I see you have used that to your advantage.

That is a great piece. I'm sure the buyer will snap up the matching pieces

Beautiful cabinet, great creation, especially considering you were limited to pre-dimensioned boards from the pallet. You have a great eye for design.

I like the Minwax Gunstock color. I used it once to refinish a gunstock, of all things.

You have so many boards in there - back, sides, top, face panels - it must weigh a ton. But it sure looks great!
Did you also use glue?
