    I drove round one Factory precinct on Sunday but all there were were crappy pine ones. Maybe all the good stuff have been snaffled already. There was one with a bit of red gum (I think) in the base, but I need to keep a hammer in the car don't I.

    Poor Wendy what an insult she looks so cute in her leather suit




    As for the challenge great idea have seen some excellent pieces at a display in Goulburn a while ago all made from various pallet types ad materials. If there is no limit to amount of timber used or design size etc

    If I recall correctly there was a fellow who had pallets/creats come into his work which were of Cherry and other nice woods from USA.

    Oh, but I am taking part

    Just not in the way you mean. Why, do you like pitting your woodwork against mine?

    Seriously, I've got to build some furniture for the house and now thatthe weather is getting better, that commission box too.

    cheers

    All you got to do Wendy, is to think of something in the house you need that can be made out of a pallet

    Just take a pic of the pallet before you start & who will ever know if you got a head start.
