If you pop round to a Tile Shop at the most opportune time,
you will sometimes find an unwanted pallet that shipped in their
'budget' range of wall/floor tiles from Turkey.
Seems wasteful, but Turkey has extensive Oak forests that are
harvested for pallet production.
Even the Turkish pine pallets are worth lugging home,
much stronger smell of resin, without any resin pockets.
Both are much better grained than the timber used for UK pallets.
I have primer, which was cheaper than the varnish. As you say tho the wood looks like shit.
Maybe it's best I leave it in the alley. Less fun, but much less effort.
