Another element of the Schultz house takes shape – a pallet wood wall for the dining room. I love wood – especially wood with such variety and unique rough character as pallet wood. I’ve started parting out pallets in advance, and storing the wood in a dry storage locker. That meant this was a quick install – only offsite work was ripping the boards to four different widths on the table saw.
I had the idea to create box shelves as a more open, modern alternative for my client who didn’t want upper cabinets in her very industrial kitchen. The kitchen walls are tiled from the counter up to the ceiling, so the open backs of the boxes allow this subway tile to be seen. These irregularly sized boxes are a fusion of square steel tube and reclaimed wood.
Dark wax was used to create a rich tone on the outside surfaces, which contrasts with the freshly-sawn interior surfaces which are illuminated by LED ribbon. Though labor intensive, these shelves pack a visual punch that’s hard to beat.

Movable sign post for the Revive Worship Center at FBC Prescott in Arizona. Mechanical cable-stayed steel crossbar holds up a locally-sourced ponderosa pine slab with lettering in charcoal and sealed with spar urethane. Heavy counterweighted base made of a cast concrete ballast caged in mild steel and allowed to rust naturally.
