It would make an excellent *server* on the deck with a nice piece of marble or just cool old wood fencing....This may make a nice island, or storage in a mud room...lots of things!<br /><br />I posted a bunch of photos on my blog of the pergola.

There are high end French pieces very similar to yours,and topped with soapstone, selling for thousands, and yours is worth restoring. However, I tend to side with Carrie, and preserve it with marine varnish, to enjoy it outdoors.

When I first saw the your photos and after reading how heavy it was, I thought to myself..... I would consider using it for a wet bar outside and protect it with a good marine varnish. What a great place to hang out and entertain around! Just an idea.Carrie @ Dittle Dattlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15513396086178251757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9054154658010381697.post-64990405488633871912011-05-01T07:57:04.472-04:002011-05-01T07:57:04.472-04:00My first thought was, "Serisously?!?

But after seeing the pictures I can see why it was free and I would not have been brave enough to bring it home. So, kudos to you! That being said, that seems like a WHOLE lotta work. If it were me, I'd probably salvage the awesome latches and any of the wood that's still decent and save them for another project and not mess with restoring this to original finish. But that's just lazy ol' me. : )Stephanie @ The Cozy Old Farmhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06570129561305128679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9054154658010381697.post-51828884441506186892011-04-29T10:17:47.392-04:002011-04-29T10:17:47.392-04:00Wow, what a project.
