are they usable
i ask because sometimes i see some really knotty and crazy grain in oak and somehow they get nails into without splitting
it seems the rarer pallet woods are also often the worst scrap pieces left over from wherever they source
the pallet making industry probably has some interesting sourcing techniques
urban refuse and the like
With a tight enough fit, you can use them to store vinegar.

Like I said - I wasn't aware of "grade 4" lumber. Cupped, warped, bark, knotholes - it's is sort of a usable board.
wooden boat builders actually use the swelling of the wood due to water to provide the seal
have to get it just right though
OMG! All the hand wringing, nervous Nellie, negative Nancy posts -- over used pallets? Are you kidding me right now? The smell is probably your vinegar douche oozing from your overly sensitive mangina, Ladyboy. ROTFL
The whining and negativity in here has totally popped my happy bubble. :(
This is how you do it, boys.
love ya mean it

You are a riot Amanda! Keep hanging around! LOL
My father had a bunch of black walnut and mahogany he salvaged out of WWII military equipment (a long time go ;-).

Or you can seal it with olive oil, then have a salad bar.

Yep.
Biggest "crime against nature" was when Oregon State University tore down the old Seed Barn. Built back in the 19"oughts" - those were clear douglas fir beams. Huge. But the contract was "knock it down and send to the dump." Even the foreman thought it was a crime, but we both had no place to put them, even if we could have gotten them out in one piece.
I have my firewood on International pallets. They are Fiberglass and will hold a good load. I want to say close to 36x48. I bought a set for just the firewood - doesn't rot and holds the wood dry.
The wood pallets are stacked edgewise in the far corner of the property near the dumpster.
I have 2x several and some acres. I use pallets that are oak and strong as movable storage places. I'll take my 4x8 pallet covered with OSB to gather down limbs and cuttings. Nicer load than with forks or a small bucket. I can haul a long limb to an area to be cut.

Yep - you'd be surprised what a pallet will hold - I was - .. when I caught this on my dash cam .. :-)

Surprised the Bobcat didn't tip over. :-)
It sure looked strange from a distance - until I was close enough to see what it was. I really like my dash-cam for this sort of thing - I've got a few great lightning bolt screenshots from it also.

OTOH, hay tends to "bulk out" before it "gross out".
