font-size: large;">Be advised that some pallets are chemically treated and could actually be hazardous to your health. There are regulations in the US which require pallets to be treated with either chemicals or heat before being shipped overseas. The safest kind of pallets to use for projects are those that are marked "HT" on the wood - that means they have been heat treated by being dried in a kiln.</span></div><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /><div style="color: #666666; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Aside from chemicals, pallets can also harbor bacteria, insects, and mold. You never know where a pallet has been, or if it could have come in contact with something dangerous, or if it was used to ship a hazardous material such as a pesticide.</span></div><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /><div style="color: #666666; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Keep these things in mind when considering your pallet project.</span></div><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /><div style="color: #666666; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="color: #666666; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><a href="http://dishfunctionaldesigns.blogspot.com/2012/07/how-to-disassemble-wooden-shipping.html" target="_blank">Need to know how to take apart a pallet? <i>Read this post!</i></a></span></span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://dishfunctionaldesigns.blogspot.com/2012/07/how-to-disassemble-wooden-shipping.html" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="167" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkVLhaSpgeTYueMn-c0brCilVDQLpexTzanq4jxlNLrZlCRjClhFyr928gMiIy1PYDz1X5bSgsASSgc1rhOUjlOlY7UYj0kVZi-dyhKrML-iSFUDS5dntJ-e2pjOfNgyaJ_q26xwUrvzM/s200/disassemble+pallets.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">Check out <a href="http://dishfunctionaldesigns.blogspot.com/2012/01/god-save-pallet-reclaimed-pallets.html" style="font-style: italic;" target="_blank">God Save The Pallet: Reclaimed Pallets Revamped</a> for tons of great ideas for reusing and upcycling wood pallets!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://dishfunctionaldesigns.blogspot.com/2012/01/god-save-pallet-reclaimed-pallets.html" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii2WWUpeQ0WAdNpcnXW63Mvlmcdq6k2kI4noOqRgJTfpEb1lUum2x8Mtbfv1Zapzz6z9CerMGqmteEFskbbxHcMnaON6DU-amg_PxubHv79cEG93sEy2b14G32xTju8M7_Hdayum2IXR4/s400/pallets+title.jpg" width="215" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span><span style="color: #666666;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/BoHo-Chic-Jewelry-Timeless-Soldering/dp/1440238162/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1378259730&sr=8-1&keywords=boho+chic+jewelry" target="_blank">Learn how to make jewelry from old broken china and</a></span><br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/BoHo-Chic-Jewelry-Timeless-Soldering/dp/1440238162/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1378259730&sr=8-1&keywords=boho+chic+jewelry" target="_blank">other unique salvaged materials: check out my new book!</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/BoHo-Chic-Jewelry-Timeless-Soldering/dp/1440238162/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1378259730&sr=8-1&keywords=boho+chic+jewelry" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUvSp_EUtbMo_c4cJKY-SYDxeqSliDn-O4l507bCULWtJOtqryKK7Blfme0OAEsfgAQGNamL-HDTuVZ72UU53gqpkgr9nT6cu7aLveVe7ojmVgFx5fvqKttvzrMHRZbmFap-0cde32BySB/s320/mini+image+book+cover.jpg" width="241" /></a></div><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
