Desk Caddy

Andy: The top has the color of Hickory, which would also be something common for palet wood. It is a nice job.

What did you put in the bottom of the drawers?

A pallet wood man after my own heart. Excellent job. How did you do the drawer pulls? I don’t have a lathe so I hope you used another method (lol).

Great recycling!

What makes me sad is that I ran a warehouse for 10 years, and had access to all the pallets anyone could want, but that was before I got into woodworking.

Karson thanks, the bottoms are masonite that comes wrapped around aluminum sheets from work.
OutPutter, sorry a lathe it was.
Charlie, sometimes I get lucky and get 8’ pallets made from mahogany. The boss says chuck it, so I do right into the truck.
Thanks for the comments.

Great results! I envy the mahogany pallets!

This looks great!! This is a very inspiring project. I have a good friend in the metal business and he gets pallets mostly oak in 10 – 12 foot lengths all the time. So I am going to get some before they get cut up as fire wood. Plus it is a great reason to buy a planer.

Thanks for sharing your work and “Green Idea”

beautiful work, and even more so that it came from recycled material.

Another reason that I dig this forum.
