I wanted to make my boyfriend a rack for his bows and yours is the best looking one I've seen. Do you think this is a project someone with little to no real experience can accomplish? I'm not kidding myself that it will come out any where near as good but if you have pointers or advice and steps I'd love to hear them. And if you say a novice CANT make that you wont hurt my feelings I swear lol

Sorry for the late reply, didn’t realize anyone had still been posting on this thread. Not sure if you have attempted it yet or not but it was super easy. I don’t know what kind of tools you have to use, I use a saws all to cut through all the nails which made it really easy. If you don’t have access to one you can pry every board off, but you just have to be careful not to break the board.
After getting all the boards off it was super easy, all I did was cut down the top, bottom, and sides to the size that I wanted the rack. Then just literally screwing on the planks
I added in the Board going across the middle to hold arrows, more for looks than functional ability. The arrows don’t go in that easy because of the top board, if I were to do it again I would either drill bigger holes for the arrows to go through, or put that middle cross board lower so that The arrows were below the top of the rack

Thought I would share the bow rack I made from an old pallet. I’m eventually going to hang it on the wall and put a bow hanger on the lower right side to hang my compound from.
Edit to answer some questions and added updated photos. This is the natural weather of the wood I didn’t use any stain or finish. Just literally took the pallets apart, cut to length I wanted, and skrewed together. Not sure what kind of pallet it was but the cross beams were heavy rough cut 2x4s that I’m pretty sure are some kind of hard wood, it was tough to drive the skrews in I sheared probably 5 skrews making it.
the slats were also heavier than a standard pallet and looked to be made of 1x6 or 1x4

The deer is from Ohio
