"Hardly 'scraps' given for starters they're knot,split or shake free, the timber is obviously being chosen to a standard. OK its not furniture Grade A, but given the weight on a pallet can exceed 1500lbs, the timber has to be of good standard."  If they came from tropical or subtropical countries they are very likely to be hard wood, often species that are never commercially available. "Yup, i'd agree with you there. Many manufacturers of pallets look to choose timbers such as, which are cheap and easy to source, but have spent time choosing the right timber for the job at hand.Oak and pine, but mainly pine are the timbers many pallets are made form. I can confirm this as when thicknessing pallet wood, there is a distinct pine smell."  Also the timber used in pallets is totally dependent on where the pallets originated "Isn't that a bit of a catch all answer ?</blockquote>
