It was the best chemical reaction I have ever seen on wood. Worth doing a video just on making the stuff. Yeah that jet black ended up being a great contrast for the spoon wood. Thanks James
Hi Mat! You guys use nice wood to build pallets in Australia. What is that BTW? In my country, pallets are usually made from terrible pine or boring poplar. I like the project. Truly unique!
Thanks Shaun, 99% of pallets are pine and only a small fraction of those are worth salvaging. We have the painted CHEP pallets which are hardwood and you are not supposed to take them because a company owns them. Then on the rarest occasion you come across a hardwood pallet like this. The wood is a really hard and dense eucalypt, probably some obscure variety, but red gum is similar and cost AU$11.44 / meter for 135x19 planks, dressed and no nail holes. Makes pallet wood hardly worth the effort LOL

Very nice! That wood surprised me! I agree that it really goes well with the spoons!
Thanks Drew, it is pretty nice to work with too.
Such skill & talent 👍👍 Great work dude 🙂🙂
Thankyou Masi. I appreciate that and it was a lot of fun to make.
I was going to say that was a strong reaction to the Iron Acetate! ... but it does suit the spoons.

I was so tempted to re-record the beginning of that video and show a fixit fingers logo on the pallet wood. haha
@@Saw-IT hahaha I should send out brands to everyone 🤣
