Pallet Island

With the publishing of my book, I thought I would share a ew favorite past pallet projects.  You can buy the book here!

Oh--doesn't pallet island sound like a wonderful place to visit?  A beach filled with pallet lounge chairs where umbrella drinks rest on pallet tables.  I am afraid this is not that kind of island.  But it is a kitchen island made from a pallet.

This was a smaller pallet, with little spaces in between the wood.  I added some small trim pieces and croquet mallet handles to fill the spaces and the some Bri Wax to shine it up.

The legs were made from 2x6's, I added locking casters and the bottom shelf from pallet pieces.

    Oh. My. Gosh. I love everything about that. The handles are awesome and usine various colors gives it a ton of character. Are you keeping it for yourself or taking it to Missoula with you? If you aren't - you should. People would snatch these up I bet because they are a perfect size for even a smaller kitchen. Have a great weekend!

    Becky--this is fabulous! I love the island you made. I gotta ask, when do you sleep? hahahah
    seriously, how many hours a day do you work? I barely have time to get all my stuff done, and I'm in a house by myself, no family to care for!
    Really LOVE this one!

    ps do you ever worry about the way the pallets are treated? Do you know your source?

    Great idea. Very useful. Something like this would make a great little side table for on the patio next to the BBQ. Always needing a little extra place to set stuff.

    I adore that kitchen pallet that holds that bottle which holds red wine and cook book. Your creativity is well appreciated.

    Thanks for sharing this idea of pallet recycling. I'd never think to turn one in to a kitchen island! I built a potting bench out of two pallets. You can see the results here: http://greenpreferred.com/?s=potting+bench

    I am a late bloomer when it comes to pallet projects but now that I am all over it, I realized it is actually the perfect easy woodworking projects for beginners! This kitchen table is one of the things I started with and got me hooked!
