correct! Pallets are disposable, sacrificial hardware mass produced. even the "good" ones aren't made from anything other than "SPF" - Spruce, Pine, or Fir. all very soft, inexpensive woods. if you were to find a pallet made from something else, it's likely either strip ply (good plywood, but components too small to efficiently re-use) or far chunkier to help it endure months of constant banging, being stabbed, pushed, dragged, stabbed, application of ridiculous forces, and so on.

Loved the music! Regarding the tie, I'm assuming you didn't shell out for a pure actual silk tie, but settled for a polyester tie. Effectively, you're just using what is also referred to as "poor man's fiberglass." Any porous cloth set in place with waterproof aliphatic resin glue. You could use any polyester cloth from a fabric store to achieve the same results. But the tie was an interesting take on it! Who among us doesn't have a tie destined for the bin that could be put to this use!

You should try to put the linseed oil on the wood before the glue. It will do two things. It will reduce the amount of glue, and it will strengthen the wood. You will have less problems with hinging.

As a note, most of the pallets I worked with when I was working in a warehouse were almost certainly pine - they had that distinctive smell every time they cracked, which was often. Makes sense, because pine is much cheaper than hardwoods like oak, and cost is the primary concern when they're making pallets.

Kramer, if you want a really strong joint with glue, esp PVA, first mix 50% water and glue, let that soak into the wood grain and pores, then when dry, use 100% PVA and you find that the glue will adhere to the glue that has rooted into the wood, AKA, a stronger bond than the wood itself. This works on any porous surface and will never fail as long as the glue can be watered down Also, with soft woods, can laminating them help with their inherent weaknesses ? maybe 4 thin layers ?

They are similar to bamboo & rattan as they are grasses and have a considerable amount of flexibility as they are (when green ) whipped all over heck whenever the wind blows.
