Hi @wildkitty,

Thank you for sharing this fantastic project.

You've done such an excellent job of cleaning up and refinishing the timber that it is hard to believe that it comes from recycled pallets. The wax finish has given it a beautiful natural look and really accentuates the timber nicely.

Congratulations on a job well done and thank you for creating such an environmentally friendly project. I am very excited to see more in the future.

Jacob
