The Chocolate Olive Ash Creepie (#4)

gorgeous chocolate olive ash and walnut creepie stool

Continuing the design theme from my third creepie my next creepie was made from olive ash and walnut. The olive ash was milled by me direct from the tree at the start of 2021. To highlight the stunning olive ash the entire top of the stool was made from ash and the walnut sides were placed underneath. I call this the “Chocolate” olive ash creepie because of the amazing brown colouration in the wood.

As a reminder – this type of wood is normally rejected by timber merchants as it is just too wild both in colouration and grain direction. Only local specialist sawmills would retain this sort of timber.

This stool sold to a lucky customer on Etsy.

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.
