I used 2x10s and 2x4s for the construction of this bookshelf, then used the pallet wood to ‘wrap’ the bookshelf to get that reclaimed, rustic look. For this project, I ordered about 4 bundles of reclaimed pallet parts. And did you know you can order reclaimed pallets from them too? They’re heat-treated and sterilized and are available either fully constructed or broken down. I designed the bookshelf to accommodate Crates & Pallet’s pre-made Large and Extra Large crates. I teamed up with Crates & Pallet to bring you the tutorial and free building plans for this DIY rustic pallet bookshelf.
I’ve had ants in my pants doing the pee pee dance waiting for the day I could finally share the building plans and tutorial for this DIY rustic pallet bookshelf with you! Don’t look now, but I’m totally raising the roof (not literally).
