Check places that supply or transport very heavy goods, they'll have all manner of leftover dunnage. I found a source for good hardwood dunnage thats great trimmed to fit in my fireplace, but unfortunately I'm keeping that spot more secret than a prime gold-panning or fishing location. Some stuff shipped out of certain areas of the US might have hardwood pallet not because the products weight demands extr strength, but because thats what their local forests consist of and the low grade wood is priced right. I used to get a hardwood pallet with commercial water heaters, but in recent years they've switched to multilayer cardboard/hardboard packaging with little real wood.
