We have an excess of skids and skid tops at work, so I decided to put them to good use!
I made this arrow holder for $3.00. $1.50 for nails and glue and another $1.50 for sandpaper.
I never build anything, but thought I would give it a shot this weekend.

pallets are awesome free wood for the taking. Great vision to see an arrow rack in a pile of pallets! If you know of a lumberyard or distributor that bus pallets of vinyl siding, it often comes Wrapped in 2x6 rough sawn hickory and oak. they will often thank you for hauling them off.

Nice work and if you feel like making another one I really need something like this! Let me know and I will buy one from you.
Staining pine can sometimes come out blotchy so you if you use a sealer first, that will usually take care of that issue. Pine will also darken with age and turn a real nice honey color on it's own without any varnish or anything.

Before finishing your project apply sanding sealer and will really help solve the blotchyness problem with pine.

Great idea. Nice work. I had no idea pallets could be dressed up like that. If you use a clear oil lacquer or polyurethane it will keep getting darker and darker, really nice looking . I've done a lot of T&G walls (the world's worst drywaller) and I love the way pine darkens and softens over time. Fir too.

I think you have a new home business in the works...I'd pay alot more than $3.00 plus shipping for one, (or two)! My arrows are standing in "decorative" tall, narrow flower pots..(they match the color of my office walls.) But seriously, I would definitely pay for a couple of these..unfinished. I'd "antique" them with paint..add some old iron casters...man you need to start a side business! With your imagination and talent, you could custom build a few, let the buyer tell you how many arrows etc....Great job!

We use to pile them up with other scrap wood and every so many months we would burn the pile.
