I had done a post on Reuse Make Money- Pallet Wood– now Good Earth Furniture (goodearthfurniture.com) has opened up Portland, ME, with a variety of furniture made from Reclaimed wood- with one of my favorite topics- reclaimed wood pallets.
They are located at 576 A Congress St, Portland ME
Hello ,
I love the rustic feel look, it must be hard to work with those unique textured pallets – result is superb
I’ve just written an article about a living room that has been upcycled and built with less than 100 euros.
I was wondering if you’d be interested my post?

Looks nice, who would have thought! Very creative.
I love this idea. I’d love to see more of the furniture in this shop. Unfortunately I can’t pop in because I’m on the west coast, but it looks awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome work! I have also been experimenting with upcycling pallets. Once you get them apart the fun begins. Iv’e done 2 coffee table and a sofa table so far and can’t wait to do some cabinet work with pallets. Looks awesome and thanks for the inspiration.
I am just trying my hand at making something from a few pallets…. But I seem to be running into a problem the pallets I have seem to be put together with non-removable nails, and getting the nails out destroys’ the boards on the pallets …. how are you disassembling them…ANY HINTS PLEASE to my email. thx
Havent done that yet, but there are a few videos on Youtube on the subject
would love to find a reasonable supplier for reclaimed wood or old pallets any salvageable wood (doors, windows, etc.) for various projects
LOVE, love, love this piece!
But for everyone thinking about working with wood pallets, please remember they can be VERY dangerous. From the ways they are treated, to things they were shipped with, to toxic mold and fungus that can be growing deep inside the wood-there are many potential dangers that come with wood pallet projects. Be sure to do your research and weigh the risks of working with pallets, as now experts suggest they should not be used for any items like furniture that will go inside your home. Also, even if a pallet is stamped with the HT mark, they still may not be safe and could pose a health threat. There are several great sites with info about all the possible risks of wood pallets, simply search “wood pallet safety.”
Keep on Crafting! 😉
We do this in Calgary Alberta Canada!
