Pallet Wood Christmas Trees

 SO, I saw these trees on Pinterest, Like These from Old & New Homestyle Boutique....
 and thought, Hey! I have some pallets out in the yard! SO I plugged in the saw and

Drew a line to follow in the shape of a triangle...Oh I mean a Tree!

My trusty reciprocating saw cut through these pallets like butter! I wasn't aiming for perfection, so even better!!

Then I nailed the boards that were loose to the center upright board.

And pulled off the boards from the back/underside of the pallet. Maybe I'll make something out of those too!

 There! One done!

 

But if you noticed, there are two sides left that will make another tree! I just lined them up so the top was pointy, and used a few long screws to put them together.

And TA-DA! In about 1 hour I have two trees. They are going to look great in the flower beds out front! I think I'll put some lights on them too! Pictures in a month or so!

Hay There!

 The folks across the street are fixing to bale their 1st cutting of hay. Doesn't it look so neat and tidy all swept up into rows? I snapped this quick picture on my way to work. When I got off work, I did this......

 Loaded pallets up in Wellie for DDs latest project. I gotta say backing Wellie up to a dock door was a different experience!

 SO this morning I unloaded the pallets....I hope I got enough.  I tried to pick heavy ones-thinking they were better than pine boards...and ones with some wear and character to them. At my work we pretty much get new, clean pallets, so it took a couple of days to find some not new looking ones.

DD has a vision of a pallet wood wall...like this sorta.....

I dare you to google "Pallet Wood Wall" and wait until you see all the folks who used pallets for decor. It is pretty amazing.
