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
Also, feel free to contact me on Facebook messenger on my personal page (Taylor McSwain) my business page (Palmetto Pallet Woodshop) or through Instagram messenger (Taylor McSwain or Palmetto Pallet).
