ABOUT US
Owner
My name is Taylor McSwain. I am married to my best friend Grace, and we have two amazing children, Georgeanna and Billy. We live in York County, South Carolina.
I work full time as an elementary PE teacher at Hickory Grove-Sharon Elementary School, and coach football at York High School.

How we got started...
Growing up I learned the woodworking basics from my Dad helping him with small projects around the house and some DIY ideas. While in college I worked at a crating company actually building pallets and crates, I was able to gain more experience and knowledge from my co-workers.
In 2016 I had the idea of building pallet furniture and other pallet ideas that I saw online, and that is where the name "Palmetto Pallet" came from. Even though I haven't used a pallet for lumber material in many years, the logo was a hit amongst friends and the name stuck. I have been mostly self-taught since I started this business with some tips from my Dad and other local craftsmen.
I started out slow with a simple outdoor grilling table, a few basic night stands, and the outdoor wooden coolers. With the completion of every project, my skills developed more and more and I was able to take on larger and more difficult projects. Over the years I have built close to 100 custom pieces ranging from large dining tables to dog kennels to condiment caddies for a local restaurant.
In 2022, I was fortunate enough to build a new workshop for myself. With this larger space I am now able to have a faster turn around time and get more projects out of the door for my much appreciated customers.

Ordering Process
If you would like to discuss a project, feel free to call or text 803-487-9751. I will be happy to chat with you about your ideas and we can make them come to life.
On smaller projects no deposit is required, but on bigger jobs, I like to have cost of material up front.
For custom furniture I will have a few questions...
- Dimensions for the piece
- Color and finish
- Any particular style
- What type of flooring will this piece be on
- Can you send pictures of what you are thinking
- What type of wood/materials do you want used
- When do you need it to be completed
- Delivery or pickup
