@Mr ATC Those days for the most part are behind me unfortunately. Years have caught up - but still try. Thanks for the thumbs up!!

Pallets are made in most cases from hardwoods - in years past I made several things from pallets. The wood as shown, once trimmed and sanded can really be beautiful, especially when properly stained. Great reminder of my earlier wood working days. Usually can get pallets for free as well - can't beat that for hardwoods.
