Overview

It’s a shame for good wood to go to waste. Here at Instructables, we’re big fans of the philosophy, “if it’s no longer useful, transform it into something that is.”

It is in that spirit that we present the Reclaimed Wood Contest. Reclaimed wood is any wood that has existed in a prior application - for example, wood from pallets or wood siding from an old barn. Whatever the wood you use existed as previously, tell us what it was and show us how you made it into something new!

On the prize list is a DeWalt speed planer, Bosch router, and more useful tools. Good luck!
