Pallet project

From some old pallets to this… very nice!

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.

-- I came - I sawed - I over-built

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.

Incredible job., one of the finer pallet projects I’ve seen. Thanks for the info.

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.

the contrasting stains really set this off – nice work

-- Greg Simon

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

-- Couldn't think of anything clever. I LIKE WOOD

It sure looks nice and unique.

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

Great design and love the two colors. They work very well together!
