Popular Post Charlie E Posted November 27, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 My wife spotted a Nativity she liked at Hobby Lobby and requested I build one. I found a large oak pallet with some nice color variation to build it with. It's about 2' X2' and will go on our entertainment center. They cost $20 at Hobby Lobby so I don't plan to go into competition with them. Be_O_Be, wombatie, Scrappile and 14 others 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 Great job Charlie. My neighbor has a winery and get things shipped to him on pallets. He had quite a stack and asked if I could use any for my woodworking.. I looked them over, all junk wood I had to turn him down. I have never see a pallet with any kind of decent wood in it. you found oak I read about other that find them with exotic woods. I get no respect...

The big zero turn mowers come in on really big hardwood pallets. It's usually mystery wood but sometimes it's oak. I don't imagine it's kiln dried but for something like this I'll take a chance on it warping. My favorite thing about it is the cost.

Jim McDonald Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 I did shipping and receiving for a truck dealership and every once in a while, I would come across some nice wood in a pallet. (Battery reciprocating saw always nearby) Even found some spalting a couple of times. Charlie E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
