Pallet Wood Treasure Chest – From Ugly to Beauty

A couple of days ago while I was doing some stuff in the workshop, suddenly this ugly looking wood block from an old pallet striked my eye. But in my view it wasn't ugly at all. It had a clear vision of it, what it would look like with a little passion and even more elbow grease. So I saved this small wood block which alread suffered by living the tough life recently in the workshop. It has been used as a bumper for hammering so it had one side complete smashed with hammering marks while the other one had some punching marks and all over it there have been nail and screw holes. But the top side really caught my attention. It had a slightly cambered surface which reminded me of an old treasure chest. So I decided to give this poor littly buddy a second live as an small treasure chest. During the following steps you will see the measures which have been necessary to transform it from ugly to a real beauty.
