Pallets aren’t just for shipping anymore. Jeremy Ingebrand, one of our employees who works in the assembly and finishing shop, has found a way to give out-of-production pallets a new lease on life way past their shipping days. Dismantling pallets made from Chinese machine-pressed scrap lumber revealed a blend of maple, mahogany, pine and oak wood. So Jeremy got to work repurposing the reclaimed wood as a coffee table with a “little brother” that can be used as a foot rest, nesting or end table. Using all the knots, screw holes and defects gave the wood a rustic barn wood finish. Instead of assembling the table with screws and nails, Jeremy used epoxy and steel-reinforced miter joints, giving the table “indestructible strength.” Now that Jeremy has reclaimed and recycled, he can relax with his modern table.
