About a year ago I picked up this Gargoyle crate. It has been sitting around for a while so I thought I would do something with it. I am a strong advocate of not destroying/restoring certain gas and oil items, but I thought this would be a nice piece. I used all the original wood and nails from the side panel of the box. I created a "roof" and small overhang to make it look like a station. I then applied about 6 coats of poly to it then sanded it. Here are some pics:
