I really like that use of a pallet. I have messed around with pallets before and it is tedious and to be honest probably not worth the time to break them down and pull all the nails. These projects that use mostly intact pallets are the best use of pallets in my opinion.
Great post, thanks!
@canadianrenegade I Will Be Learning That Lesson in the New Year. Planning on Doing a Feature Wall Using Broken Down Pallets. Wish Me Luck!
A lot depends on the type of pallet. I remember finding these awesome heavy oak pallets that were about 12 feet long. I thought I hit the jackpot! Thinking I could salvage a bunch of 12 foot oak boards. After trying for about 10 minutes and not even getting one board off I gave up (although I did pop the heads off a few nails...). I think the oak must have been fairly wet when they were assembled and shrunk around the nails.
Wow! Ya That Sounds Like a Battle Better Left Unfought.. Thanks for the Insight!
