Just a nice wee simple creepie made from olive ash and sapele. The top is two-piece and almost bookmatched and shows ripple at one end and spalted dark brown streaking at the other. Side skirts and legs are sapele with walnut pegs into the legs. Dimensions: H 227 x W 430 x D 230 mm.

The Frankenspline Creepies (#23 and #24)
A new design of creepies with walnut splines giving the appearance of stitching - hence the name given to these stools. Made from my own Scottish Dumfriesshire oak...

Olive Ash and Walnut Creepie (#19)
Another fantastic piece of olive ash makes up the top of this creepie, with ripples, streaks and crazy grain patterning. I had been holding on to this piece for a while and needed to make sure it was completely dry given that the grain direction is all over the place. The top has been flanked with simple, straight, walnut sides with a single peg at each corner. The legs are ‘white’ ash and olive ash with the traditional key motif cut-out. The weather was so good I took a few creepies for a photo shoot on a wall looking onto Tantallon Castle, the Bass Rock and the Isle of May.…

This is not another creepie!! (But I have still given it the number 17 because it is in my creepie-style). It is actually a bench...

Wedding Creepie (#16)
In the summer I had a lovely wee commission to make a creepie to be gifted as a wedding present. The customer had been on holiday to Orkney and had come across creepies there. Then, having returned to the mainland, they came across my website and asked me to make a custom creepie.

Creepies #13, #14 and #15
I moved workshop towards the end of the year and that finally gave me the impetus to use up some yew, elm, maple and ash that I had been hoarding for a while. A wee bit snow in the Lammermuirs gave me a nice festive photo shoot location for two of them. The first one, shown below, is book-matched Scottish yew flanking a piece of reclaimed mahogany on the top and the sides are mitred and rounded with the live-edge used at the bottom of the skirts. The legs are maple with a very simple semi-circular cut-out and the sides are affixed with walnut pegs. Size is approximately L 425…

Olive Ash and Mahogany Creepie (#11)
With the Glenkinchie Distillery Christmas Fayre on the horizon, I finally was able to use up some of my olive ash offcuts to make more creepies. I was also gifted some old mahogany tables from which I was able to reclaim some lovely coloured pieces that I could use for the skirts.
