snacktruck67 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) Nice job. I have been making pallets of various sizes now for years using Popsicle sticks. I use wood glue and liquid weathering solution from Micro Mark, which gives the whole pallet a good weathered look, like old wood. guess either way works out quite well. Here is a few of my pallets in different sizes, before weathering. I also like to make Mexican rugs.

snacktruck67 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Don't be silly, yours are super. I like the fact that you made a video. I had never thought of the flame onto the wood. Nice touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
