The second of two olive ash and reclaimed mahogany creepies that were made specially for the Glenkinchie Distillery Christmas Fayre. This one is two staves of olive ash with a mahogany stave sandwiched between, and mahogany skirts.

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.

The “Snipe” Office Furniture Suite
Just a final post showing the three pieces of the "Snipe" office furniture suite gathered together. You get a better idea of scale and positioning to see the filing cabinet and sideboard sitting either side of the corner desk.

The “Snipe” Sideboard
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.

The “Eider” Sofa Table
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!

The “Birdcage” Coffee Table
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.

Playing the Long Game 2
Two hundred rings. That's how many I was able to count in the ash tree that was to be milled at the mother-in-law's farm.
