Make a Pallet coffee table out of free #pallets and a couple of scaffold planks. A cool Do It Yourself woodburning project that you can make using basic power tools and a broken microwave for the #Lichtenberg Figure, glowing in the dark is an optional extra :) To find out more about #DIY Lichtenberg fractal etchings go and have a look at this playlist.

Many thanks to Alpha industries for providing the glow in the dark powder. Better pics this evening once the sun goes down https://www.facebook.com/glowinthedarkpowder?ref=hl

Final finish is with OSMO hard wax oil, an excellent hard wearing finish ideal for tables.

Was a long build, a lot of time goes into timber preperation, the endless belt sanding etc. What you get for free you pay for with time, however pallet and reclaimed timber has more character than new timber you find.
