True, although one thing just came to me. If the pallet is any kind of used
at all, and it looks like walnut, it probably isn't. I used some walnut
scraps as pegs to hold ropes to secure a tree I transplanted last year, and
I've just come from having a look at them. A year in the weather, which is
typical of the life of the average pallet, has yielded a dreary gray wood
that looks about like, well, pretty much any other weathered gray wood.
There's not much to suggest that this is walnut at all.
