Well this project started out as a joke. Its accually made from Cherry pallet wood. A buddy of mine brought over about 10 cherry pallets and asked if I could use them. I explained to him that although appreciated, I wasn’t sure if I could use all of the wood due to the quality. We decided to bust them all up and run them through the planer and chop saw. Although I used up my new blades on my planer, I ended up with some very nice figured cherry boards. I’ve used them on alot of small projects from jigs, to throat plates, to jewelry boxes and this box which holds most of my favorite wood magazines. All of us can appreciate the beauty of wood and allow its distinctiveness to shine in every project.

oh a box to hold woodworking magazines! What a great idea…
hmmm
This is a great box – and just think of all the work Mother Nature put into making the wood and it was just going to get tossed into the junk.
I think she’s smiling at you—ear-to-ear!!

The box is great, but does your wife know you took the satin sheet off the bed for a photo shoot?

A great job of recycling.
I always say, if it’s wood it’s good.

That’s a beaut Russ. I always like hearing about wood getting recycled like that. Specially into something so beautiful. Thanks a lot for sharing.

No towel is safe in the home of a lumberjock. I don’t use kitchen towels to stain… I use shop rags to dry dishes.

Great magazine storage.
Salvage cherry. The pallet maker says give me 10,000 bd ft of lumber. He doesn’t care what its made out of. It’s all the same price to him.
