Made entirely from pallet boards – several species I can’t positively identify, but I like the look of them.
Plenty of ventilation from partial back boards and routed open space on bottom edges of end panel boards. The two door panels have boards that graduate from darker to lighter in ascending order to mimic forest floor to sky. The “Tall Trees” design is made from wood that looks like cherry – band sawn and carved. Finished with water based polyurethane. 23” wide, 64” high, 14” deep and can hold around twenty pairs of shoes. Good friend and fellow LJ from this area, Lee Barker, informs me that the cabinet would be called “Schuh Schrank” in German.

The pallets in my area (I scan them all the time) and the projects that I do look rather ordinary compared to pieces like this. Decorative elements that are also bold and organic seem key to your work as well as the subtlety of colours. I applaud your vision, hope to see more and am encouraged by what is simply possible.

Great use of pallet wood. Terrific idea on the doors and especially the ventilation issue.

Terry, this is very unique and really nice.

Art with a purpose, purposeful art, anyhow, incredible and wisely photographed outdoors where your organic embellishments really shine.
Inspiring.
Kindly,
