Pallet wood is so effective, we really like what you've done here. We've just built a pallet wood wall for our "TH-cam Studio" and this video gave us good inspiration. Thanks!
Looks fantastic - good tips for when I'm prepping to do my own. If I could give one suggestion .... I'm not sure leaving the modern white skirting on the door and floor is optimal for the look. Still looks good but I think finishing those with something that matches the rustic shabby sheek look would be even better.
Just curious... pallets are more expensive for me where I live than just buying the wood new. Any suggestions on stain colors to match your project. I'm actually trying to match my kitchen table Tahoe ll from living spaces. Pulling my hair out thx in advance!
Hi tash I used glue and small screws, had to angle them away from the light sources to prevent glare . Hope this helps. I'll be making a video using pallets in the next few weeks so keep an eye out for that. Steve
Might be a dumb question but did you sand both sides of the boards with your orbital sander? Also did you clean or bleach the boards at all after you sanded?.. I see some people do that but I'm thinking it might not be necessary on my project. Great work.
Hi Yes I cleaned the boards but did not sand both sides, as I know exactly where the pallets come from I know the products that are on them so don't have to worry about any bad chemicals etc. If you know where the pallets come from I wouldn't take the extra time if it's not going to be seen or finished with a product. Try and use pallets from company's that use them to transport large items only, like bathroom suits, kitchens etc and as long as the have HT on them you will be perfectly safe to leave one side untouched.

Absolute cracking job, im about to do my man cave feature wall... But was going to use fence ranch boards... Have you worked with them before on a wall? What kind of wax was used for the first step ? Keep up the good work mate
Those prices on the top of wall are they off a pallet my kitchen wall is wood and I broke one think may be pallet wood scuffed and stained thanks great video
Thanks for the great demo, It looks awesome!!! I have a question. you mention about applying polythene after the fact. What shade of color would be good? As now in the video have you apply anything? Thanks cheers
About to start my pallet wall in the conservatory. Only problem is a double arched door. Do I ignore the recess or try to cut small pieces and follow it round?
Pat Car hey, in this case the client was very happy to have the different thickness planks, she said it was what she had imagined when she first thought of it. But if you wanted to have the boards the same thickness then I'd pass them through a thicknesser. Thanks for watching 🖒
This looks amazing. I am planning to do this in my home. Can I ask how you moved the electrical outlets forward for the extra depth of the wood? Thanks.
Hi Vanessa, I finally tackled this project last weekend. I just found longer screws and extended the recepticle out a bit past the box so that it would be flush with the wood wall.
avinash sinha pàllets are just wood , yes they will move slightly over time due to srinckage and expansion bit the woof itself as long as it's dry before you apply won't bend.
Hi Joseph As long as you clean the boards and check them before installation then I wouldn't worry, I've not had an issue yet, if it's some thing that may worry you then I would give them a spray with some bug spray or soak then in wood treatment before installing.
Craftsmanship at it's finest. Steve, you're the man!
Done this around my fireplace. Looks great with the rustic real look and modern wallpapers on other walls. Easy as well.
Pallet accent walls in a home are awesome! They are environmentally friendly yet appealing! Good work!

End result was great, I was hoping to see how to trim around plugs and switches.
Want to do this in my van!
SaintTrinianz

Nice work.
Xavi Cano thanks 🖒
I hope to do the same soon in my bedroom. Regards from Bsrcelona
This is beutifull
I want one of these
...not sure how my hubby will take it
lol
fantastico. 😍
Did you use a variety of wax colours or just one colour across the whole wall? Great job.
Apologies if you did mention it. I'm watching this with no sound. What did you use to stick the wood to the wall with?
Hi tash
I used glue and small screws, had to angle them away from the light sources to prevent glare .
Hope this helps.
I'll be making a video using pallets in the next few weeks so keep an eye out for that.
Steve
I didn't think varnish could be applied over a wax finish?
Might be a dumb question but did you sand both sides of the boards with your orbital sander? Also did you clean or bleach the boards at all after you sanded?.. I see some people do that but I'm thinking it might not be necessary on my project. Great work.

+Valhalla Woodworks Awesome thanks for the help!
New sub from me great info keep them coming
Absolute cracking job, im about to do my man cave feature wall... But was going to use fence ranch boards... Have you worked with them before on a wall? What kind of wax was used for the first step ? Keep up the good work mate
Thanks👍 I used Briwax for the first step, ( clear) works great with pallets, makes them stand out more.
Those prices on the top of wall are they off a pallet my kitchen wall is wood and I broke one think may be pallet wood scuffed and stained thanks great video
Chief, can I sand them down after?
Great work! did you use anything to keep bedbugs or other insects away?
Great video and very nice job. The accent was a little hard to understand though for me as a Dutchman.
Thanks for the great demo, It looks awesome!!! I have a question. you mention about applying polythene after the fact. What shade of color would be good? As now in the video have you apply anything?
Thanks
cheers
Hi
I used clear Matt finish to the pallets, gives it s great natural look but seals it up.
Thanks for watching 👍
that looks great
can you do my kitchen wall
About to start my pallet wall in the conservatory. Only problem is a double arched door. Do I ignore the recess or try to cut small pieces and follow it round?
great! did you use any paint on the wood before put it on the wall??
Hello
No Daniel I used a clear Matt finish polyurethane ( varnish ) after the wall was up, gives it a great natural look.
Thanks for watching
Steve
What is the name of the wax you used the finished product looks great!
Shan Sheheane hi, I used Briwax clear to finish them.
It's the only wax I use. 👍🏻
Thanks
Came out great! how do you compensate for different width on each plank?
Pat Car
hey, in this case the client was very happy to have the different thickness planks, she said it was what she had imagined when she first thought of it.
But if you wanted to have the boards the same thickness then I'd pass them through a thicknesser.
Thanks for watching 🖒
Do you have to use a batton?
This looks amazing. I am planning to do this in my home. Can I ask how you moved the electrical outlets forward for the extra depth of the wood? Thanks.
Kevin, did you ever figure out how to do this? Would love to know as well Thanks!
Hi Vanessa, I finally tackled this project last weekend. I just found longer screws and extended the recepticle out a bit past the box so that it would be flush with the wood wall.
Kevin Harman hi Kevin
Sorry I didn't reply to your post, sometimes it's hard to keep track, yeah just longer screws, glad you got it sorted. 👍🏻
Do pallet wood tend to bend over time? If yes then what is the solution?
avinash sinha pàllets are just wood , yes they will move slightly over time due to srinckage and expansion bit the woof itself as long as it's dry before you apply won't bend.
just wondering if any of the wood has shrunk?
Hi Tony
Yeah it's does shrink a little but it won't effect the whole look of the wall.
wait so you used wax and THEN polyurethane? I thought that was bad?
got one question what did you use to wax the plank before polishing with polyurethane?
Dip rai hey, I used Briwax clear to seal before final coat.
Thanks for watching 🖒
So do you have to apply varnish or clear wood stains to it?
Christopher Madrigal
hi, you don't need to apply varnish but it gives it a good sheen and protects it a bit more, you could just use a wax or oil.
Thanks =)
What wax was used?
Scottish woodworker where are you from mate am from Glasgow ?
Buy brown outlet covers
should i be concerned about termites i know they love their wood.
Hi Joseph
As long as you clean the boards and check them before installation then I wouldn't worry, I've not had an issue yet, if it's some thing that may worry you then I would give them a spray with some bug spray or soak then in wood treatment before installing.
Thank you.
Wouldn't worry anymore than with any other house.
