I made a lot of firewood out of pallets before - for domestic use.

Shed shelving. Pallets are ideal. Slice lengthways, use bottom spreaders for uprights. Nail together. Side on, they look like this :

I built a 8' x 6' shed once. Was collecting pallets for nearly a year first. Trick was not to try levering the wood apart because it just splits. Simply slam them down on each corner to loosen them, then cut down the joins to cut through the nails.

I saw a great photographer's wedding fair display made out of pallets. The guy had made lots of wee shelves and boxes (also from pallets) and filled them with big, rusty old keys, fabric hearts and so on.
All this was interspersed with hay bales, random bolts of gingham cloth and most importantly, the images he was selling to potential clients.
A good mix of textures was the winning factor - the products themselves were almost incidental but also very uniform, so they stood out.

Hmmm. The HD I thought they were on isn't the one I thought it was.... Basically, as described, and casting my mind back, there were things on ribbons hanging off the structure - wooden letters spelling out relevant words.
It was all a bit chintzy / retro. I'm sure there were a few Roberts radios, vintage kitchenalia, a few artists easels... That kind of thing. Very effective - he took more bookings than me
