📚🌟Staff Picks Saturday 🌟📚

Library Assistant Ben's pick is Pallet Style by Nikkita Palmer.

"This book was a great find. There are heaps of great little projects in it and using pallet wood costs almost nothing to experiment with. I definitely found some inspiration to put into practice in my workshop!"
