Commissioned as a 5th “Wooden” Wedding Anniversary gift, I was asked to make a creepie using my Scottish olive ash and walnut using some of my previous design elements, and so I decided to do another chocolate creepie.
A round-over on the top long edge and the exposed end-grain on the short edges provides the perfect opportunity to see the chocolate colouring, the ripples and the amazing grain of my 200 year old Scottish olive ash. I hope you like it. I think this one is my favourite so far.
Dimensions are approx 410 x 200 x 185 mm.
Nb: The National Museum of Scotland website has a nice wee article about creepies if you would like to know more about this furniture type.

My goodness that is a beautiful piece. How much does it weigh and how thick is the seat?

Thanks.
The top of that creepie is 23 mm thick and the weight would be approximately 3 kg.

Sir, I have made many small stools that could be called creepies but not in your class. Your work is fantastic. I make them for a gifts to friends and family.
I will be a frequent visitor to your web site.

Thank you very much for your kind words. My creepies are fun to make and I think they are a great way to make hardwoods accessible to more people.
Best regards,
Iain
