I reuse as many of them as I can for building furniture or small
projects- I'm sorry to say that you really can find some fine woods in
pallets- cedar, walnut, cherry, almost anything... it's crazy. I
seeing a few businesses in New Mexico that used reclaimed pallet wood
for furniture too.
As far as Americans being concerned about deforestation- clearly they
are not. Look who 'we' voted into the white house....
