What-not box for co-worker

Project by cobbler posted 620 days ago 474 views 0 times favorited 8 comments Add to Favorites Watch

I built this box over the weekend for a co-worker out of some ? wood that came from an old pallet at work. The wood worked very well and is finished with light pecan stain and then hand waxed. Can someone help me identify the wood?

Neat little box and great use of reclaimed wood!

What you have there is pallet wood, from the North American pallet tree. :-)

Seriously, I’m not sure what it is, but you sure made a nice box from it.

I really couldn’t say for sure but it reminds me of some Hickory that they have at the local lumber store. Looks good no matter.

Nice. That lid really gives the piece character.

This is a very nice looking box. I like the way you left the knots in the piece. They add nice details to the box. Your finish looks good as well.

I really couldn’t tell you what type of wood it is but great use of wood that would have ended up in a dumpster.

Thanks for the post.
