Finding ways to repurpose salvaged building materials is one of the hallmarks of thrifty craft project. One of the most popular items used by creative people is a used wooden shipping pallet.

One of the biggest reasons is because they are generally made out of the sturdiest materials and are uniform in size and shape. The type of wood used will depend mainly on the purpose of the pallet and what is being shipped on the pallet.

Look for an “HT” stamped on the wood shipping pallet which means it was “heat treated” NOT “chemically treated”.
