Cooking With Pallet Boards: Experiments with Plant-based Wood Finishes



So, I recently finished a new piece of woodcraft using repurposed materials. For this project, I wanted to use a single pallet board, regardless of its condition (lots of glueing and clamping and glueing and clamping some more to seal the large cracks and splits.) I also wanted to experiment making my own handmade wood stains and sealant from plant-based materials using no chemicals. The process was a bit more laborious than I expected, but I learned a great deal.
