Pallets here started out as hog pens, in 1990 I had 4 back surgeries. with 4 kids still at home, But we still collect pallets . We turn that into a arts an crafts projects. Then we sarted building lawn furniture .An were still making chairs . Now were using old tin roofing cutting out the state of Texas an putting all sports an college logos on them. There are a numberof old thins that recyclable you need to have an imagination. HERE AT LOSTWAGES TEXAS

I clean up pallet wood and use it for a number of projects. I mainly use it to do
intarsia woodwork as well as making knick-knacks. Some have beautiful wood
in them.

I actually use pallets for keeping things off the ground (I bet nobody else has ever thought of that)

I have made coat racks and shelves with pallet wood. They are usually thin enough you have little trouble finding nice pieces. Some of the thicker pieces make nice corbels for supports. If you can tolerate wading through my other photos, check some of them out on my project photo pages at http://www.flickr.com/photos/functional_art

I make most of my “stuff” out of old pallets. In the days gone by you could find really good wood but now days you have to really hunt to find usable wood. I make clocks, lamps, birdhouses, segmented turnings and now I am making Xmas ornaments. With careful selection you can create some pretty nice things.
