that wood is the chepest stuff you can buy at home depot (or anywhere else). if you can't find old crates...DIY!!!! as far as projects go...all you need is wood and a staple gun with staples large enough to penitrate two pieces of wood...or some nails and a hammer.

Don't use Pallets(unless you have to) - many pallets I've seen lately have been this nasty pressed wood-ish substance that cuts terribly, looks terrible and looks even worse when varnished. And stinks. Go with the real wood.
