When we dismantle wood pallets, we have lots of creative possibilities using its wooden planks but we do not think about the blocks of wood that are inserted between the planks or how to use them. And yet, we can also build amazing things with these wooden blocks: candle holder, lamp, pencil pot, shelf, planter and everything that dictates your imagination.

I decided I made a dinosaur bookend with a two-color pallet block. It will perfectly support small pocketbooks or large works of art. Graphics and colorful, this bookend gives your libraries a look. It is made of a recycled pallet wood block, painted in a two-tone geometric, decorated and varnished, surmounted by a reinterpreted stegosaur and will make a perfect decoration for home, office, bookshelf, greenhouse book or unique and offset paperweight that will find a place on a desk, a shelf or a library. This proves that pallets are a source of infinite creativity.
