    Olive Ash and Mahogany Creepie (#11)

    October 14, 2024

    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.

    The “Snipe” Sideboard

    April 6, 2024

    My "Snipe" sideboard. Continuing the design cues from the filing cabinet - cut-away drawer pulls and walnut highlights - and adding asymmetric freeform slatted doors with offset handles. Everyone in the workshop loved it.

    March 23, 2024

    My brief was to create some furniture home office. The client already had in mind a corner desk but we went on to explore some typical rectangular desk designs before settling on a small suite comprising a filing cabinet, corner desk and sideboard. This is the corner desk.

    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.

    “Hen Harrier” Footstool – 1970s style?

    June 28, 2023

    The “Eider” Sofa Table

    April 14, 2022

    What is a sofa table? Well, it's a wee table that aims to slide in beside you when you are sitting on the sofa to give you somewhere flat to put your mug. No more trying to balance your mug on the cushion next to you! No more biscuits sliding off your plate!

    August 29, 2021

    During the making of the latticework for the legs of the Buzzard console table, I happened to have them lying on their sides, and I thought to myself that with a top they would make a nice coffee table. And that's the origin of the "Birdcage" Coffee Table.
