Spice rack from pallet wood

At the Ashburton MenzShed this week, I made a spice rack, up-cycled from free pallet wood. The pallet had a few pieces of perhaps an Australian hardwood with some beautiful colors in it. 

After de-nailing and milling the boards and drilling shallow holes with a Forstner bit in the drill press for the spice jars, I cut the pieces to size and joined them with simple joinery and wood glue. Black elastic prevents the jars from falling out. The rack is finished with Danish Oil.  


The spice rack is secured on our pantry door with 4 screws.

Our current selection of spices in alphabetical order. There is room for more.
