Olive Ash and Mahogany Stripe Creepie (#12)

This is the second of two olive ash and reclaimed mahogany creepies that I made specially for the Glenkinchie Distillery Christmas Fayre 2024. The first one had a three stave top made from only olive ash. I made this one from two staves of olive ash with a mahogany stave sandwiched between. Walnut dowels provide a contrasting detail in the top and birch dowels provide the contrasting detail in the mahogany side skirts. Classic keyhole legs feature as well as my favourite big round-over on the top long edges.

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.
