You've alluded to it in your post but for anyone else thinking about using pallet wood - look for heat treated wood (stamped HT), and be mindful that these things can be used to ship hazardous materials, and may retain some residue of whatever they were carrying.
- pp19dd 5y agoDidn't go into it because I have nothing to contribute being an amateur, but yep, anyone working with shipping pallets should read authoritative sources on safety first. If you don't see that HT stamp, move on. And luckily they're a lot of effort to disassemble to a point of discouragement. Surface detail was a scroll saw and power-carving with a cheap rotary tool. Flex shaft, assortment of diamond coated burrs, and some patience. Just started getting into power carving and I have a long way to go, but enough can be done with just a hand file and sanding: https://i.imgur.com/kjLPtGu.jpg https://i.imgur.com/kjLPtGu.jpg
