Reality. Pallet wood is usually made of the worst damaged wood. A good portion are twisted like a propeller. Chipped, and other with awkward grain in some areas. Dented wirh gravel, who nows what and rhe forks with the fork lift. Nails are usually nocked in to hard with a nail gun or nails so bad they can't be used again, or ones that rust easily. To mention some nails leave nasty rust bleed holes in climates that get regular rain intervals. At that. It doesn't stop me from making various projects with pallet wood. Be aware that a good portion might be added to a burn or discard pile.

Make sure you avoid any pallet with MB markings on the side. Methyl Bromide isn't something you want leeching out into your living room and you don't want to breathe the dust while you work the wood either. HT or KD markings mean they have been low temp kiln dried or heat treated and are safe and free of chemicals so long as nothing has been spilt on them.

Just check the stamps on the wood to see what type of treatments the wood was exposed to. Go even further and know the history of your pallet, was it used by a bookstore likely delivering fry packages of books? Or a local Walmart where food and chemicals could have spilt and rotted on the pallets? Plenty of ways to make sure you get safe useable pallets, and that’s before even mentioning that the fear around methylbromide pallets really isn’t as much of a significant threat as people make it out to be.

Look for the 'HT' symbol on the pallet. That means Heat Treated; no chemicals. 'MB' on a pallet means Methyl Bromide. Don't touch those with a ten foot pole. Those pallets are so toxic you can get chemical burns on your skin from them. I found out about that from getting burning, itchy lines on my hands where I picked up those pallets. I looked up the 'MB' I saw on them and that is why.

But the pallet wood was not free. It cost you 2.5 hours at $60 an hour so it cost you $150. That doesn’t even include any additional processing you need to do for that wood. So the question is how much wood could you buy for $150.
