Weekend Project: Recycled Wood Dining Table
We found a great find this week for a weekend project. Readymade Magazine always has good ones and this table made out of pallets is obtainable just about anywhere. We've all seen those cast-off pallets hanging around any store's back door and even though no two are alike, they've got it covered.

i love a rugged table....actually i have pallets lying around @ my work warehouse....great tip thanks
They make it sound so easy don't they!
He knew pallets coffee tables, but this new idea seems great .. tb and easily.
Greetings!
I was just in West Elm in Philadelphia and there was a display where they stacked pallets end to end, screwed together with metal plates and hinges, and created a large folding screen. And there were frames and such hanging from it. Amazing idea - I'm going to try it in my backyard to seclude my patio a bit!
I love this! There are oodles of pallets in our community too. I can't wait to show this to my husband, since we are in the market for a backyard table anyways.
Too bad it is SNOWING in Calgary. Boo.
Thanks for the idea - my husband is obsessed with recycling pallets right now and this would make a great patio table!
How lucky I am to read this post! These days I'm walking around scanning for some palettes in good condition, because I want to make a table for our country house.
wow - well if any of you make any - please email pics - i'd love to see!
I wish I was that Handy! Would have loved that dining table!
Maybe I'll add this little project to my list of "things to do"! What a great table. Again jan, I don't know how you find all these great projects, stories, etc.
have a good weekend!
hey janis - and yeah half the fun would be scouring the city looking for them, listening to some tunes. pallet craft day?
I think that is just the neatest thing! I think I might have to use this idea for a desk in my new bedroom!
my 18year old son asked me some weeks ago if i could make a daybed out of pallets, so he could chill in the garden...
Okay, so am I the only one who wants to know where the wall decal is from or how it is made?
wood & wool stool - i'm sure if you made them they'd be beautiful! and aren't you too young to have an 18 yr old?
Pieter Jan Rosiers - you are totally not the only one - i wish to know too - and sent out my query to them.
I second wanting to know where the bird art is from. Can anyone post the source? I can't find it online.
Love, love, love the bird decal. I'd really like to have one for myself.
I love this idea. There always seems to be free pallets on Craigslist.
Completely agree about the bird wall decal- amazing! Would love to know the source...

Now I know what to do on my old wooden tables. I have lots of them. This post is going to be my inspiration in remodeling those tables.
