Now serving more ideas on how to turn wooden pallets into things useful.  I did not know it when I started googling this topic, but pallet salvage is a green fad these days.  This means that some people will pay big bucks for a nicely done bookshelf or table.  It means also that folks who don’t have a lot of money to put towards fine furniture can easily turn up ideas on how to make functional furniture for themselves.  Here are a dozen such projects scrounged from the web.  Would you not agree that they all come off looking rather stylish?

A little sanding and that old look emerges.

Clunky but unique.

Plain but practical.

Use what ya got.

Leave off the legs, add some whitewash.

This one takes the prize.  Click here for tutorial.
